OSAKA

If you love to eat your way through a city as I do, this is the place to go with the absolute best Japanese food! The easygoing vibe and out of this world food culture will definitely bring me back here again. I was here for only 2 days- so I was limited in all the possible things to do. I decided Osaka castle, shopping in Shinsaibashi, and eating my way through Osaka's heart (Dotonbori) were the top things on my list. Many people describe this as the culinary capital of the world! Also, please note: Shinsaibashi/ Dotonbori gets absolutely jam-packed, so be ready!

Trying to find the next best thing to eat. Don’t be overwhelmed by the crowds, you just have to keep moving :)

Wagyu at its absolute finest! Matsusaka beef, as we were told by locals, can only be had in Japan. It literally melts in your mouth!

When beauty meets the sky. Take the time to go on a nice long walk with 360 views of the castle. Originally built in 1583- you will be amazed, its an absolute must-see landmark!
