Osaka: An Evening of Shopping and Delights

"Konnichiwa!"

After our delicious culinary adventure in Nakhon Pathom, we're jetting off to Japan for another exciting escapade! But before we dive into the bustling streets of Osaka, let's take a moment to revisit our Nara adventure. If you haven't already, be sure to check out our previous blog post for a glimpse into the enchanting world of deer and ancient temples: [link to Nara blog post].

Now, buckle up as we embark on a shopping spree through the vibrant heart of Osaka! This metropolis is a haven for shopaholics, boasting a diverse array of stores, delectable street food, and a contagious energy that's impossible to resist.

Our Backpacking Journey:

Our five-day itinerary took us through the heart of Japan, culminating in the dazzling city of Osaka. We arrived on April 12th and explored the city's hidden gems until our departure on April 20th.

Osaka's Shopping Paradise:

As the sun began its descent, we found ourselves amidst the bustling streets of Osaka, ready to immerse ourselves in the city's vibrant shopping scene. This urban labyrinth is a melting pot of retail therapy, offering everything from high-end designer brands to quirky local boutiques.

A Feast for the Senses:

As we navigated the crowded streets, the aroma of freshly grilled yakitori and the sweet scent of taiyaki filled the air, tempting our taste buds at every turn. The sheer variety of culinary delights was enough to make any foodie's heart skip a beat.

Treasures Found:

Throughout our shopping expedition, we stumbled upon a treasure trove of unique finds. From trendy fashion accessories to handcrafted souvenirs, each item held a special charm that reflected the city's vibrant culture.

A Photographic Journey:

Throughout our trip, we embraced the spirit of backpacking, capturing every moment with our trusty camera. From bustling streets to serene landscapes, each photograph tells a story of our unforgettable adventure.

A Note on Photography:

As we explored the city on foot, our camera became an extension of ourselves, documenting our journey through a series of snapshots. While some images may appear slightly tilted or blurred, they serve as a testament to the dynamic nature of our exploration.

From Nara to Shinimamiya:

After bidding farewell to the playful deer of Nara, we boarded a train bound for Shinimamiya Station, where our Osaka adventure was about to begin.

Venturing into the Shopping District:

With our bags packed and our spirits high, we set out to discover the renowned shopping district of Osaka. The anticipation was palpable as we navigated the labyrinthine streets, eager to uncover the hidden gems that awaited us.

"Shinimamiya: Check-In 26/30"

And so, our Osaka shopping spree commenced, promising an evening filled with discoveries, delights, and a touch of retail therapy. Stay tuned for the next chapter of our adventure, where we'll delve deeper into the heart of this captivating city!

After exiting the train station, we will walk through the Shin-Imamiya district.

This area is home to the train station and various hotels, making it a convenient location to stay.

There are a lot of hotels in this area.

For tourists who want to stay in the heart of Osaka, I recommend this area.

"Number [Check-In 27/30]"

After passing through the Shin-Imamiya district, we arrived in the Namba district by taking a train to this station.

This district is full of dazzling shops, spectacular neon signs, and of course...

The legendary Glico sign is a must-see! 555555

The tour guide for this trip is Aem Srichanee, a beautiful woman who is not easily swayed by the world.

What is she interested in? Let's follow along and find out!

"Shinsaibashi [Check-In 28/30]"

Just a stone's throw from the Glico Man sign, you'll find yourself amidst a sea of people, making it nearly impossible to focus your camera on a single face. 55555

Here it is!!! I came to the shopping district, but I'm not interested in anything.

I'm just looking for gachapon machines. 5555 I'm so stingy with my coins.

I'm going to save them to put in this machine. I've been putting them in all over the city, but I can't find it anywhere!

And here is the result of my work (actually, Kanom and Hi Tum also joined in, hehe).

Aem Sri suggests a technique of pressing each vending machine once or twice to avoid getting duplicate items. However, we pressed every machine, resulting in no duplicates. We are proud of this outcome. 5555

When visiting Cartoon Town, how can you not have cartoon-themed items?

And this is the land of kale. Kale is obsessed with Walt Disney, regardless of her appearance and age.

She ran into the store and circled around. Oh my god, the cute and adorable things are so heartbreaking.

I wish I could win the lottery and buy the whole store. I'm so sad. TOT

I received two lovely rings, which brings me great joy.

The two girls got what they wanted, now it's time to please Uncle Ahe.

The shoe store, as shown in the picture. They fought for almost two hours and each brought back one or two pairs to Thailand.

Although the price is not much different from Thailand, but since we are here, let's buy it. It feels good. 5555

Everyone seems happy now. 5555

"Do Tong Buri [Check-In 29/30]"

After shopping for half a day, we didn't get much.

But when it comes to eating, we're second to none! That's why we ended up in this area...

In addition to the Glico Man sign, the giant crab sign, which is likely to be another legend, must also be counted.

He's so hungry that his eyes are squinting. 5555

After five full days of authentic Japanese cuisine, I'm craving some intense grilled meat. (I'm even thinking about papaya salad, sob!)

The menu looks like this, and the prices are average. However, I'm not sure if it will be enough to fill me up. I'm so hungry that I should probably just go for a buffet. 5555

Brother Lalla is the best because he has been craving for grilled meat for the past two or three days. Hahahahaha

Alright! The food is here, so let's dig in! ^O^ 5555

Kanna took us for a stroll around this area, and the atmosphere is just like everyone else who comes here.

This is a real shopping district, with tons of stores!

And today, we've checked in to our 29th spot.

In the next blog, Kanna will take us to the 30th spot in full force (emotionally) 55555

Because it's a place where Kanna had so much fun, screamed so much, which is...

"Universal Studios Japan"

Kanna was there from morning until the park closed at night.

If you're planning to visit USJ, don't miss it!

Finally, Kanna wants to thank everyone so much.

For following, liking, and sharing all the time. You're all so lovely!
