#CosToCoast: OSAKA, JAPAN
12:29 AM |
| Shinsaibashisuji, Chuo Ward, Osaka -- a long street consisted entirely of shops and stores, ranging from the most common international clothing brands such as H&M and Zara, to the most uncommon and unique Japanese shops you'll ever find. As a fan of shopping, I definitely had to come back here several times because of its size and there's just something new every single time I come back! Dotonbori, Chuo Ward, Osaka -- connected to Shinsaibashisuji, this street is for the lover of food, which is probably why I love it here as well. You can find any type of Japanese food--sushi, ramen, katsu, takoyaki, crépes, and even Kobé beef here! The restaurants also do not close until around 10 in the evening, and some at 12 midnight, so it's a good place to go to whenever you're feeling hungry late at night. |

| Kinkaku-ji or The Golden Pavilion, Kita Ward, Kyoto -- this beautiful, gold-covered Buddhist temple in Kyoto is only a few minutes to an hour away from Osaka. (More information here) |
 |
| I absolutely love how convenient it is that there are vending machines in literally every corner of Japan! |
 |
| My parents being adorable and all on the way to the Osaka Castle. I'd say it's a pretty long walk to be able to get to the castle itself, but being surrounded by the beautiful Cherry Blossoms definitely made up for it. |
 |
| It was literally storming on the day we took a trip to the Osaka Castle and there was barely any shade, hence the (cute) umbrella and my horrible, sticky-looking hair. |

| PABLO -- the literal best-tasting cheese tart/cheesecake in the world. A must try! |
 |
| MANNEKEN -- another sweet treat! These gorgeous waffles are definitely some of the best I've tasted, and my personal favorite is the chocolate-covered one. Give it a try! My trip to Osaka was quite a short one, but I can safely say that I've already done all of the shopping I needed, I've seen a lot and I've eaten as much as I could in those 3 days! There's so much to love about this city and the entirety of Japan, and I would love to come back very soon. Thank you Patricia Co for always taking wonderful photographs.  |
