| Osaka: 3 minutes walk from Yotsubashi Station |
strawberry ade (¥ 600)
kiwi ade (¥ 600)
red velvet cup cake (¥ 650)
oreo brownie (¥ 650)
-------------------------------------------------- -----
Located on the 2nd floor of the multi-tenant building, a Korean-style cafe that is very popular in Horie, Osaka, there is a signboard in Korean at the storefront. Each interior is cute, such as artificial flower tulips and fabric posters 🌷
I visited after 15:00, but the dessert was running low. I added a little after that, but it seems that the store will close as soon as it is sold out. It was also crowded and always full 😳
Both strawberry aid and kiwi aid are photogenic and Korean-like 🌿 The sweetness was right and there was no carbonation 🍓🥝
The texture of oleo brownies is firm and bittersweet. The cream above and Oreo are sweet so it was just right 🍫
The cupcakes are red with an eye-catching dough ❤️ Cream cheese and butter flavored cupcakes 🧁 The one on top is cheese cream and the sweetness stands out when eaten together 🧀
The dessert lineup varies from day to day, so you can enjoy it whenever you come.
The counter seats also seem to be warm in the sunlight, so I wanted to sit there too 🥰

Holiday Inn & Suites Shin Osaka
The staff are so kind, considerate and did their best to help us. We had purchased disneysea tickets from Lawson before the temporary closure extended. The phone line only spoke Japanese so the front desk girls called for us to try to get us a refund.
Honestly they didn't have to do that, and despite not being able to get the refund I am very happy with their help. I will definitely return back to this hotel and recommend it to friends and family in the future.

The hotel is located above the 20th floor of the building. I had booked a deluxe room, but upgraded to a corner room. This allowed me to admire the view on both sides. Sitting on the couch in the corner would make a nice pose for the camera. Or, you can take a bath at night and enjoy the skyline. I intentionally booked an eastward-facing room so that I could watch the sunrise. When sitting by the café window, don't forget to look outside.

Settsukyo park is known for its sakura and very popular place during spring season but in fact it is also stunning during autumn season. You can choose from 5 hiking trails whick one best suits your interest. In my case, I choose the letter B trail which where I can fully enjoy nature viewing. After the trail, theres a river where you can enjoy fishing.

A Day Out in Osaka
I am totally in awe with this Tower built in 1912 then rebuilt in 1956 after it perished during a fire. Along the streets to this spot were restaurants, stores, cinemas and other premises with colorful lights and signages.
It has been a prominent landmark in Shinsekai area. Most importantly, it is not only used a view point, but also houses other attractions as slide and Pocky exhibition.
Head over to this place and come experience the slide. im sure u gonna love it.

Japan's Autumn Foliage Season! This Maple Viewing Route is Stunning
As the weather cools down, Japan enters its beautiful autumn season 🍁! You should know that the popularity of Japan's autumn foliage season rivals that of the cherry blossom season, and it lasts much longer! For those who missed the cherry blossom season, don't miss out on the autumn foliage season~

This time, I found an amazing maple viewing route that guarantees you'll see plenty of beautiful sights! From the autumn leaves at Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto 🍂 to the Maple Corridor at Mount Fuji, every stop is Instagram-worthy. This maple viewing route is truly stunning~~
.
🍁 Maple Viewing Spots:
Maple Corridor: Capture Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi, and a screen full of autumn leaves 🍁 in one shot. Every photo is a masterpiece!
Kiyomizu-dera: The almost entirely red Kiyomizu-dera is unbeatable. If you've watched Detective Conan, you'll recognize this as the place where Shinichi and Ran shared their century kiss. It's truly beautiful.
Nara Park: Ancient temples, shrines, deer 🦌, ginkgo trees, and autumn leaves. Nara in autumn is so healing and photogenic~

Kuromon Market | Osaka 🇯🇵🐡🍤🦪🦞🦀🐚🦐🎏Osaka’s answer to Tokyo Tsujiki! A serving of sashimi, fresh seafood and fresh fruit! A must visit. Known as "Osaka's Kitchen" because local homeowners and restaurant chefs source their ingredients here, the market is famous for its fresh seafood and is a popular gourmet hunting hotspot! One of the reasons for the popularity of this market is the many stalls that are always ready, cooking and serving! This makes it a great place to walk, taste and sample a variety of fresh market seafood!

Must eat Ramen in Japan 🇯🇵
Less than 30 minutes queue and I manage to try this YI RAN RAMEN at Umeda 👍🏻 I love spicy, so I asked for 2X spicy but I felt I need more 🌶️ The taste was great, I finished the entire bowl including the soup 🍜 the broth is very appetising and the noodles very chewy, I prefer slightly hard to be more chewy.
I think it’s worth a try if you haven’t try once in your lifetime. The price is a little pricey as one bowl is close to RM40.

Osaka is so beautiful I love this place
Osaka and Nara are both a beautiful place in Japan. Would recommend anyone to go as it is amazing place to travel. The culture and people are so friendly. So many temples and shrines to explore that I wished I had more time to go and see. Food is also very good here and love trying all the street food. Very clean place and will be coming back again to explore more of Japan.

Cascade Garden in Osaka
#thingstodo A well-maintained promenade. A walking course with a pleasant river breeze from the Okawa River. It has an elegant atmosphere as it is connected to the Imperial Hotel. I can just walk. The bottom is also in good condition, making it easy for wheelchair and stroller users to move around. It's a quiet place with not many people. It is well managed. Things that I love.
