▬ KK Day 00:00 Osaka & Kyoto VLOG🇯🇵 00:24 DAY 1: Arrival in Osaka✈️ The Have Fun in Kansai Pass mentioned in the video: https://www.kkday.com/zh-tw/product/5... 🚄Kansai Airport Express HARUKA Ticket https://www.kkday.com/zh-tw/product/1... 02:47 Osaka Accommodation: Hoshino Resorts OMO7 https://maps.app.goo.gl/afkTLcXtjR9VS... Recommendation Rating: 4.9🌟 I absolutely loved the Osaka hotel I stayed at this time!! From the lobby to the park outside and even the rooms, the attention to detail is remarkable. Transportation is very convenient, right next to the subway, but it's not noisy at all. I recommend booking directly on their website during the early bird season for a better price. ☑️ 04:09 Shopping in Umeda I usually shop at LUCUA and LUCUA100; you can find almost any Japanese brand you want there. 05:35 Dotonbori River Cruise Experience 🚢 Osaka South Dotonbori "Doton River Cruise" Ticket Reservation (Osaka) https://www.kkday.com/zh-tw/product/1... 06:24 My favorite dish this time was the sukiyaki 🍲Shabu-cho (鶴涼綼). https://maps.app.goo.gl/HGDVVy7ioBy3w... Recommendation rating: 4 stars 🌟 My husband said the Wagyu beef was super tender and delicious (But I don't eat beef, so I ordered pork). He tried both and thought the beef was better 🐮 Overall, I was very satisfied! The staff were very friendly. 08:34 DAY 2: Universal Studios Japan 🌍 Universal Studios Japan Ticket (Officially Licensed) https://www.kkday.com/zh-tw/product/2... 09:54 Doki Goro Kingdom 🦍 Super fun! 11:14 Super Nintendo World 🍩 12:50 Too tired to eat dinner, went straight back to the hotel 🍛 13:28 DAY 3: Heading to Kyoto ⛩️ 🚞JR Kansai Area Rail Pass https://www.kkday.com/zh-tw/product/2... 13:50 Bought Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha at Kuromon Market 🍵 Wakabaen Garden Main Shop: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Me882zy5GtVwR... This is a shop run by an elderly couple. Although the shop is officially open at 9 AM, they don't start selling very promptly (so please be patient). We waited about 30 minutes to an hour before we bought anything. But the lady was very friendly; she gave us a big handful of matcha candies after we bought anything (so delicious!). If you want to buy Marukyu Koyamaen matcha powder, you should check it out! 15:26 Take the HARUKA to Kyoto 16:22 Kyoto Accommodation: Ace Hotel https://maps.app.goo.gl/nj2fewzHckJsX... Recommendation Rating: 4.8🌟 Highly recommend staying here if you like shopping! The Shinpukan shopping mall is right downstairs, and the cafe on the first floor is also great. The surrounding alleys are all within walking distance, with various small shops to explore. Overall, we were extremely satisfied! ! 17:00 Shopping around Sanjo, Kyoto There are many small shops to browse here 🛍️. If you're interested, you can check out my previous REELS post for introductions. 📌Kyoto Shopping Recommendations:   / c9zepxsvj1o   📌Kyoto Coffee Recommendations:   / c7l1ghxpzdl   21:42 Super Delicious Ramen 🍜 Menya Inoichi Recommendation Rating: 5 stars 🌟 Highly recommend!!! Delicious!!! Both the ramen and rice are delicious!!! No further explanation needed!! Everyone should definitely try this place! 👍 They start handing out numbered tickets at 4 PM, so come early to get them (if you arrive during peak meal times, you might miss out). We got our numbered tickets at 5 PM and ate around 7 PM. 22:53 DAY 4: Kyoto Day Trip 🍁 24:27 Must-try Lebanese Breakfast in Kyoto (by reservation): [ki:] [link to app] https://maps.app.goo.gl/XHBUSmX2A4Azp... Recommendation Rating: 4.8 🌟 This is a restaurant I've been interested in since my short stay in Kyoto, because it's always sold out! Later I found out you need to make a reservation in advance to get a table. I feel like they don't get many customers each day (?). Although it's Middle Eastern style, it's a dish that Asian palates will also enjoy 🥙! (I also got some canelés to go, which were delicious too!) 27:37 Purchased Kyoto incense at LE LABO 🍵 https://maps.app.goo.gl/yskZFcP9bxNpZ... The perfumes are mixed on-site, so you have to wait about an hour to get them. While waiting, you can browse nearby department stores; I recommend Kyoto BAL Department Store 🛒 28:35 Kinkaku-ji Temple + Shimogamo Shrine ✨ (Didn't get a picture of Shimogamo Shrine, but the route is quite convenient, so you can schedule it for the same day.) 29:22 Store specializing in various Japanese general merchandise and kitchenware: Kura General Goods Store https://maps.app.goo.gl/FMKyGFyaASyAc... 30:00 Experience a Japanese Tea Ceremony at YUGEN https://maps.app.goo.gl/zaPLWwakvrxw6... Recommendation Rating: 4.5 stars 🌟 A very unique shop I stumbled upon while searching. You can experience authentic Japanese tea ceremony or drink matcha. The Japanese tea is served in three infusions, paired with d...
