7D6N Osaka + Kyoto Travel
Do you ever have a place or country that you’ve really wanted to visit? Osaka was always on the top of my list. When I think of a place I have always wanted to go, it was Osaka. Putting it in my bucket list every year, I have finally manifested my dreams of visiting Osaka this year.
Osaka
Beautiful, clean and quaint yet lively and convivial, Osaka is a place like no other— largest metropolitan in the Kansai region. Delicious food, ample shopping districts, modern architecture, to quaint Japanese shrines and historical buildings, Osaka offers an abundance of everything you need to see, explore and taste in Japan.
Kyoto
On the other hand, going down to Kyoto was a pre-planned day trip. Away from the bustling concrete jungle of Osaka, Kyoto offers a delightful surprise of it’s beautiful Shinto shrines, grassy passageways and demure environment.
Ecstatic + a little over the moon
Comfort while travelling.
Comfort comes in various ways, be it the clothes you wear or the food you eat. I find comfort in a well-planned trip. Even if the itinerary changes, there’s an idea on what to do. The best things that happened to me during the trip was to have a trusty “friend”.
Klook
Klook was a tremendous help in my finding my comfort.
It was worry-free. I got my Universal Studio Japan, Osaka Kaiyuukan and ICOCA transportation card from the app and their customer support was amazing + extremely helpful. It was like a very personalized assistant to have on my hands at all times. Sure it was convenience, but to me, Klook was a comfort to assure me that everything is in plan.
Where we called home in Osaka for 7D6N + Sakuragawa Station
Sakuragawa Station serves 2 subway lines— Sennichimae Line (this line is the most convenient with simple transfers) and Hanshin-Namba Line. It was a blessing because navigating the subway map of Osaka was a huge confusion and pain and I have a choice between two lines to get anywhere.
The Airbnb where I stayed welcomed me into a nice, cosy apartment with 2 double beds, a teeny dining area + couch, fully equipped kitchenette and even a mini tub in the shower! It was amazing for the price I was paying for per night! The host— even when we don’t speak a common language, was extremely helpful and kind. (thank google translator most of the time)
Indulging in the art called Washoku.
Washoku also known as traditional Japanese cuisine. Wide range of delectable ramen, rice bowl, sushi and fresh seafood— Japanese food is healthy and a lifestyle. Beautiful colors spread on your dish with different textures, Japanese cuisine is an art by itself.
Having many small dishes and plates, Japanese cuisine cultivates the lifestyle of eating slow and enjoying every single bite of your food. Their taste is a harmonious blend of tasty and rich, never skimming out on quality ingredients.
I've got plenty of food to enjoy during my vacation, namely a few were their Tonkotsu Ramen, fresh raw oyster, Oden, Tonkatsu Steak & so on.
Relaxing + Shopping + Sightseeing
- Osaka Castle

Unwind and take things slow. Enjoy all the beautiful things and not to rush. That’s how having a vacation is like. For a soul like me, the time spent with my people, the time spent looking at beautiful little trinkets in a gift shop, the time spent admiring the colors of a Gingko tree by the park— are the little things that create your best vacation memories.
The spirit + beauty of Japan.
To beautiful vacations,
Melody
