#OsakaFoodGuide 📍Exit 5 of Shinsaibashi Station, a 1-minute walk from Daimaru PARCO. While shopping with friends at Daimaru, we accidentally discovered this newly opened yakiniku restaurant by the roadside during lunchtime, with fresh flowers displayed at the entrance. The interior features a bar counter and regular seating, with a clean and tidy environment. The menu offers both à la carte and set meals, with set meals starting at 6,000 yen. For 10,000 yen, you can enjoy top-quality Kobe beef, including rare cuts like Chateaubriand steak. We ordered a set meal with 15 dishes, paired with an all-you-can-drink sake option, totaling 15,000 yen. The diaphragm sashimi, premium salted beef tongue, and Kobe beef truffle sukiyaki were tender and delicate, clearly top-grade quality with every bite. The seared wagyu sushi and grilled beef were prepared live in front of us, perfectly cooked, and served with raw egg yolk and crushed peanuts for an exceptional taste. Special praise goes to the Chateaubriand steak, which was aromatic and flavorful when paired with mustard or Korean kimchi! The all-you-can-drink sake lets you choose from beautiful cups and taste 10 kinds of Japanese sake. While enjoying yakiniku, you can experience the layered flavors of sake, from the fruity and fragrant "Shinkai" to the rich and dry "Kubota," each one impressive. Whether you are a sake lover or want to try Japanese sake flavors, it’s definitely worth a try. The restaurant is thoughtful, clearly marking which sake pairs best with each type of grilled meat.

Last time I spent two days in Osaka, it was completely relaxing and comfortable. The itinerary wasn’t rushed, but every place was very satisfying—whether it was shopping, food, or soaking in hot springs, the whole trip was very cozy. Let me share my itinerary! 📅 Day 1｜Leisurely City Tour & Fine Dining 💼 Accommodation | The St. Regis Osaka This hotel is in the heart of Osaka city, with super spacious rooms. After check-in, I rested a bit at the hotel, enjoying a cup of coffee while looking at the city view—it already felt very healing. 🛍️ Afternoon｜Shinsaibashi & Midosuji Shopping I didn’t plan to buy much, but once I got to Midosuji, I couldn’t resist checking out the new collections at LV and CHANEL. Then I went to Daimaru Department Store to browse Japanese brands, and of course, I ended up carrying several shopping bags. There are also some nice cafés near Shinsaibashi, where I sat down for a coffee break—it felt super relaxing. 🍣 Dinner｜Michelin Sushi | Sushi Nakamoto I booked this small sushi place with only a few bar seats. The environment was quiet and comfortable, and the chef introduced the fresh ingredients of the day. The tuna belly literally melted in my mouth, the sea urchin was incredibly sweet, and every piece was very exquisite. 🍸 Night｜Umeda Rooftop Bar After dinner, with no special plans, I went to the rooftop bar at Grand Front Osaka in Umeda. I enjoyed the entire Osaka night view, had a cocktail, and the breeze was really pleasant~ 📅 Day 2｜Hot Springs Relaxation & Elegant Afternoon Tea 🌿 Morning｜Half-day Trip to Arima Onsen I had heard that the best hot springs near Osaka are in Arima, so I finally tried it this time. The trip there already felt like a vacation. I booked a stay at “Hyoe Koyokaku” to soak in the golden and silver hot springs. The water was incredibly smooth, and soaking slowly while enjoying the beautiful scenery was super relaxing. Then I tried their Japanese-style cuisine; the Kobe beef was really tender and sweet! ☕ Afternoon｜The Ritz-Carlton Osaka English Afternoon Tea I originally just wanted to find a place to sit, but then I saw the afternoon tea at The Ritz-Carlton and gave it a try—it was a total unexpected delight. The three-tiered tray of savory and sweet treats was all very exquisite, especially the crispy baked English scones, which were amazing. 🛫 Last Shopping Before Departure｜Kansai Airport Duty-Free There was still time before heading to the airport, so I grabbed a few boxes of Shiroi Koibito and Royce Nama Chocolate at the duty-free shop. In the end, I couldn’t resist buying a few Japanese skincare products to bring home—a perfect ending! This trip to Osaka was very comfortable, with a completely unhurried itinerary. Shopping, hot springs, and food all satisfied at once. I truly feel Osaka is a place where you can relax and enjoy without getting too tired! #OsakaItinerary

I have learned 99% of the laziness of Kyoto people. 🌸 Day 5: Philosophy of Osaka Castle ⭐ Osaka Castle Park: The castle tower and the old men and women fight for a bench. The secret is: "Pretend to look at the map, but move your butt quickly and accurately! 🏯💨 ⭐ Kuromon Market: Eat seafood bowl until you have to lean on the wall to leave, but be careful of the big belly of tuna - your wallet is losing weight faster than me🐟💸 ⭐ Umeda night view: The wind on the top floor of the Sky Building is so strong that your head is bald. It is recommended to tie a bun, otherwise your hairstyle will turn into a "crazy beauty"🌃💇 🌸 Day 6: Carnival at Rinku Outlet ⭐ Nike and Adidas are 30% off? rush!

#mytraveldiary Japan in winter felt like pure magic. One of my favorite memories was strolling through Kyoto temples in a beautiful kimono 👘. The peaceful atmosphere, the stunning architecture, and the little streets filled with teahouses made me feel like I had stepped back in time. ⛩️ 🏯 I’ll never forget strolling through the fairytale charm of Shirakawa-go, where traditional thatched houses were blanketed in soft white snow 🛖❄️✨ Seeing Mount Fuji up close took my breath away – the snow-capped peak reflected on the lake was unreal. ⛰️💙 Of course, the fun side of Japan made the trip even better! From laughing like a kid again at Tokyo Disneyland 🎠🏰 to the excitement of Universal Studios Japan, where thrilling rides and movie magic came alive 🎬🎢, every moment was unforgettable. Nothing beats warming up with hot ramen and street food after walking in the cold. 🍜🍱 Peace, fun, and unforgettable memories, Japan in winter truly stole my heart. 🇯🇵❄️

Shinsaibashi | Osaka's Shopping Alleys: A Dance of Light and Shadow Shinsaibashi, Osaka's most iconic shopping street, is an urban promenade where light and shadow intertwine with the crowds of people. During the day, sunlight filters through the arched glass, illuminating the dazzling array of shops, fashion brands, and traditional stores. Strolling through the long arcades, the clatter of soles on the stone, the sound of voices and laughter, and the light intertwine to create a unique urban rhythm. Here, high-end fashion brands meet local Osaka shops and cafes. Corner dessert shops waft the aroma of cakes and matcha, while the exquisite goods of Japanese sundries captivate the eye. Occasionally, street performers perform, their music echoing through the arcades, adding unexpected delights to shopping and strolling. At night, neon lights and LED signs illuminate the streets, reflecting on the faces of passersby and the windows of shops. The streets are instantly filled with color and bustle, like a dynamic light painting. Shinsaibashi's charm lies not only in its shopping but also in its rhythmic and diverse atmosphere. As you veer from the bustling main streets into the alleyways, you'll discover hidden cafes, handmade shops, and art stores, offering the joy of urban exploration. Whether you're chasing the lights during the day or basking in the neon lights at night, every step brings you to the vibrant energy and warmth of Osaka. ✨ Tips • Must-visit areas: Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street, the Dotonbori intersection, and the unique shops in the alleyways. • Best times to visit: During the day, when the arcades are at their softest, the sun is at its brightest; at night, when the neon lights illuminate, the streetscape is at its most captivating. • Recommended experiences: Street food, sweets and coffee, designer shopping, and street photography. • Note: Weekends are often crowded, so avoid peak hours and explore the hidden beauty of the alleyways. 📌 Traveler's Notes In Shinsaibashi, every shop window, every ray of light, and every stream of people is a symphony of urban life. Strolling through the streets, you'll discover that shopping isn't just about making a purchase; it's a way to experience the rhythm of the city, capturing its vibrant lights and atmosphere. — 🔖 Tags #Shinsaibashi #OsakaShopping #OsakaStreetScape #Dotonbori #OsakaFood #StreetWalking #JapanCityTravel #LightTravel #UrbanRhythm

Opt for evening hours for fewer crowds and a better atmosphere. - Shinsaibashi can get very crowded on weekends. For a more comfortable shopping experience, visit on weekdays or after lunch. - For Namba, bookmark a few restaurants in advance. Many popular spots have long queues during dinner hours, so consider going early or reserving a table via trip.com.

Take the Midosuji Line and get off at "Umeda," "Shinsaibashi," or "Namba" stations—each is within walking distance. If you have extra time, you can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the riverside and take photos.

#SummerCampaign Looking for a place to have dessert after dinner, I decided on this place that's open until late. Directly connected to the underground passage from Shinsaibashi Station (South Exit) on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line, I found Cafe de Paris in the Shinsaibashi Food Hall on the second basement floor of the Daimaru Shinsaibashi Main Building. Established in Korea, Cafe de Paris's beautifully presented fruit parfaits, "Bonbons," made with an abundance of seasonal fruits, are an overwhelmingly popular signature dish. They also seem to offer seasonal and Japan-only menu items. Since strawberries were out of season, I ordered a medium green grape bonbon and coffee topped with vanilla ice cream. Even these bonbons are on the small side! Even the sorbet inside was made with fresh green grapes, giving it a refreshing taste. ✨ Cafe de Paris (Daimaru Shinsaibashi Store, Osaka) 📍Address: 1-7-1 Shinsaibashisuji, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 542-8501, Main Building B2F, Daimaru Shinsaibashi Store #DaimaruShinsaibashiStore #OsakaCafe

[Shinsaibashi | A Long Letter to the Streets and Lights of Osaka] In Osaka's bustling district, Shinsaibashi resembles a long urban street, gently traced by neon lights and bustling crowds. In the early morning, the streets haven't yet fully awakened, the air carrying the aroma of coffee and bread. The cobblestone alleys are quiet and serene, like a long urban poem whispered by light and shadow. Walking along Shinsaibashi, shop signs, glass windows, and graffiti intertwine. The afternoon light is at its softest, casting a cascade of gold, gray, and red across the streets and windows. The occasional sound of a train bell or footsteps, and the breeze blowing from the alleyway, invites you to slow down and take in the rhythm and warmth of the city. In the evening, neon lights begin to illuminate, and streetlights and shop windows cast a dazzling array of light and shadow. Pedestrians, cyclists, and small shops flow through the light and shadow, and the aroma of coffee on the street corner is gently carried away by the evening breeze. At this moment, you'll understand that Shinsaibashi is more than just a street; it's a journey woven with light, shadow, crowds, and commercial culture, a long poem of prosperity and warmth. — ✨ Tips (Useful Tips for Your Trip) • Time to Visit: Early morning, when the light is soft and there are fewer tourists, is perfect for capturing panoramic streetscapes; evening, when the neon lights first come on, creates the perfect light and shadow, perfect for capturing the people and street life. • Viewing Spots: Shinsaibashi Shopping Street, Dotonbori Bridge, shop windows, and small cafes at the end of the alley. • Activities: Strolling the streets, shopping, taking photos, sampling authentic local snacks, and soaking up the night lights. • Transportation: Directly connected to Namba and Shinsaibashi subway stations, the streets are most easily accessible on foot. • Seasonal Moods: Spring and autumn offer pleasant temperatures and gentle light; summer is bustling with activity and crowds; winter, when the streetlights first come on, creates a warmer atmosphere. — 📌 Traveler's Notes In Shinsaibashi, I learned to slow down for a few minutes, just to watch the light flow between the windows and the street, and the breeze gently caress the pedestrians and the shops. That bustle and warmth are more like memories than any photograph. — 🔖 Tags #Shinsaibashi #OsakaTravel #StreetWandering #LiteraryTravel #SlowTravel #LightsAndNeon #ShoppingStreet #Dotonbori #CityScenery #TravelInspiration
