      Thank you so much for this video. We have been to Osaka two times already, and we love eating the local food there. I can definitely vouch for Acchichi takoyaki, Lord Stowe’s egg tarts , Rikuro Oji-San cheesecake, and Osaka Ohsho’s gyoza. I can’t wait to go back and try other places

      I recommend staying at the Holiday Inn hotel because it has a shuttle bus from train station to hotel that travels back and forth every 30 minutes. They also included a free breakfast buffet.
      I wish I would have seen this video before I went on my trip.

      @@lizpedroza9965 thats a pretty expensive hotel to be in Osaka, i mean i guess thats why they can have shuttle busses going that often, i would rather save my money on a cheaper hotel around Dotonbori, as i really only sleep at my hotel when im in japan. And its not like its hard getting around in Osaka from Shin-Osaka. But evryone travels differently.

    Recently, I followed Nakai Seiya's Railroad Journey on NHK, and loved how the sceneries across Japan. So, I'm inspired of putting railroad travel across Japan as one of my main methods when I get to land on Japan, trying to follow Nakai Seiya san's trail, and mix it up with every of your travel guides to get the true experience throughout Japan. 😊

    Been to japan 4 times allready and i keep watching videoes in hope to learn something i havent seen / done yet, think you guys are the first to bring up Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street and tsuruhashi. It seems that a lot of people only speak about the main attraction and places around dotonbori / namba and tsutenkaku, so this was refreshing.
    A lot of people introduce America mura as a place for younger people, though i will rather say it's a highlight for alternative people in general, yes that means mostly younger people, but plenty of old awsome people as well.

    • @samurai_junjiro

      That sounds great! To really enjoy Osaka, I think you need at least 3 days. Dotonbori is lively and bright at night just like during the day, so you’re sure to have a good time!

    • @deaddrunkgamer7399
      @deaddrunkgamer7399 2 місяці тому +1

      with 1 week i promis you, you'll barely be scratching the surface of Osaka. Also if you dont allready know, subs stops fairly early, so staying close to Dotonbori (walking distance) or Umeda is recommended, there are plenty of other night life spots, but these are the most vibrant in my opinion.
