OSAKA
OSAKA
Osaka, the most popular sightseeing spot for Westerners,
is a vibrant city 365 days a year.
It's said that Osaka residents are similar to people in our country rather than in Tokyo because they are more outspoken and less introverted.

OSAKA
A City Where the Past and Present Coexists
One of the reasons that foreign tourists are attracted to the Osaka area is that we can enjoy both past and present.
You can enjoy the ruins like Osaka Castle, Dotonbori Dotonbori, Universal Amusement Park Universal Studios and so on.

Where to Stay in Osaka
The Best Hotel to be Near all the Action
in Downtown Osaka
Osaka is now experiencing a "shortage of rooms"
when foreign tourists are crowded.
Therefore, if you do not prepare in advance, you may experience a misfortune to stay in a shabby place at a higher price than others.

Since the hotel is located in Namba,
which can be considered as the center of Osaka city,
it's in the best possible location for traveling!
It was super easy to go out, explore,
come back and relax in the room for a bit,
then go out for some Osaka nightlife🎶

| Executive Deluxe King Room(L) & Twin Room(R) w City View |
There are a wide variety of rooms here,
but we wanted a view of Osaka so we stayed in the Executive type rooms.
Up to 5 people can stay in both the rooms with the deluxe king and twin,
but if it's adults we would recommend 3 people
(which is what we did, 3 in one room and 2 in another).

so that's what we did for the room with 3 people.

Breakfast
Breakfast
For many Westerners at least,
a hotel's breakfast menu can make or break the overall rating of the hotel.
Even nice hotels in Japan still manage to have primarily Japanese styled breakfasts making it difficult for some people to find anything appetizing.
We loved the breakfast buffet at CANDEO though.
It had the perfect blend of what you would imagine some Asian countries wouldwant to eat for breakfast as well as Westerners.

It is said that people with tattoos aren't allowed,
however, we saw many other people with tattoos.
Just be prepared.
We double checked with the staff though
and they said if you have like a bandage to cover it/them
that was ok.

Kuromon Ichiba Market
黒門市場
Kuromon Ichiba Market is one of the main food markets in Osaka, Japan, right in the Namba area.
What makes this area so popular amoung Japanese and foreigners alike
is that it's a place that specializes in street food.

After seeing videos of a particular cafe's pancakes,
we had to go there for ourselves!
Cafe "gram" only makes 20 servings three times a day,
so we were really lucky to get in!!
We recommend making a reservation if possible.

Guenpin Fugu
In this case, pufferfish.
Nearby was a Japanese tiger pufferfish restaurant
that served pufferfish in all different kinds of ways.
It was our first time ever actually trying pufferfish by itself,
and since they had it in all sorts of variations,
we tried them all!

It was almost as if nothing was there, it's sliced so thin.
Apparently, rather than taking one slice at a time,
Japanese people scoop a bunch with their chopsticks at once then eat.
There was also pufferfish hot pot ("tecchiri" on the menu),
fried pufferfish, pufferfish sushi, and pufferfish BBQ
(we actually didn't try the BBQ ^-^;; ).
All of it was good,
but maybe the sushi and hot pot were our favorites.
The fried pufferfish was difficult to eat due to all the bones.
so while living dangerously,
you're actually eating something pretty healthy!
Japanese restaurants can't serve blowfish without a proper liscence,
so there really is no need to worry🐡♡

Torame Yokocho
(虎目横丁)
This place was probably our most FAVORITE in Osaka!!!
This was many of our first time ever hearing about Torame ("Tiger's Eye")
Yokocho, and probably 99% of the customers were Japanese.
So we figured many other people don't know about this place,
and since we had such a great time
there's NO WAY we were going to leave this place out!

You are just surrounded by great people,
having a great time, with great food and drinks!!
Don't worry about deciding which stall to sit at,
as long as you find a seat
you are able to order from any of the restaurant stalls in the place.
Just bring the number coin that is at the stall where you are sitting
to whichever restaurant you want to order from,
and that restaurant will bring your order to you!
Next time we go to Osaka,
we are DEFINITELY coming back here!!!!!
