Osaka!
We stayed in Osaka for 3 nights. We ate a LOT of food here 😁✨💞
We had the best wagyu street skewers here! After that, we got tanghulu while we explored the rest of the brightly lit market 😋🍓
Dotonbori Night Market
It looked like it came straight out of an anime! 🥹🤍
Osaka Castle
They have a lot of cafes here! We visited the Minnie Mouse & Daisy one! I can’t forget to mention we did a little bit of shopping here too 🛍️
Orange Street
Osaka is basically where all the foodies go, so this street was a must-see! I can’t remember the exact restaurant we went into, but I do remember the food tasting amazing 🤩
Takimi Koji Gourmet Street
We spent a half day here! Visiting every part of the park minus Super Nintendo World (they had weird times and you had to be on top of it.) My favorite section was Minion Park because the ride was so cool!! 😎
Universal Studios Japan
We stayed at this hotel for our 3 nights in Osaka! It was so clean and the service staff were very accommodating! 💫
10/10 service, would stay here again! 💕
Osaka Excel Hotel Tokyu
Kyoto!
We stayed in Kyoto for 5 nights ✨
We stayed here for 4 nights and it was in a good location a couple of blocks away from the subway!! 🚇
Keio Prelia Hotel Kyoto Karasu…
We stayed here only 1 night because it was kind of pricey! This was my favorite *hotel* of the entire trip! Worth every single penny! 🤍
Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St. - Nazuna Official Website | Luxury …
A beautiful market street! You’ll find a lot of 100 yen sake shots walking around! It’ll keep you very warm during the wintertime ✨
Nishiki Market: The Complete Guide To Kyoto’s Kitchen
The shrine with 1,000 Torii Gates! It’s an absolute must-see sight if you’re in Kyoto ⛩️
Fushimiinari-taisha Shrine
An old Kyoto district that was untouched by bombs! It felt magical walking through such a historic place 💕
Higashiyama District - Kyoto Travel - japan-guide.com
We unfortunately didn’t have enough time to go to this place! But it looks so cool and will be a place I definitely plan to check out next time!! 🎣
Ine Village, Kyoto’s Rustic Fishing Town - Japan Journeys
Hakone!
We stayed in Hakone for 2 nights!
We stayed here during our couple of nights in Hakone! I loved how we had a private onsen on the balcony and the shower was huge! 🤗
Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora
We visited here and explored the area a bit before getting on the fun pirate ship and crossing the lake! 🚤
Lake Ashinoko
We took this pirate ship cruise line across the lake in first class! Definitely worth the ticket because the upstairs section had beautiful art deco decor! 🕊️
Hakone Ashinoko (Lake Ashi) Boat Cruise - HAKONE JAPAN
It was an interesting museum! But if you don’t have the time, you can definitely skip it 🖼️
THE HAKONE OPEN-AIR MUSEUM
Tokyo!
We stayed in Tokyo for 4 nights!
We stayed here for our time in Tokyo! It was so fun because they technically have 3 hotels all next to each other and there’s a beautiful garden in the middle of them all! 🪴
Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa - Official website
This place was SO much better than Universal Studios! It was huge and there was so much to do, see and explore. The buffet food wasn’t the greatest, but it was really cute! 😊
[Official]Tokyo DisneySea - 東京ディズニーリゾート
I can’t remember which Izakaya alley we had gone to but it was so cool! The drinks were cheap and the food was amazing!! 🤩
I 1000% recommend you check one (or a few) of them out ✨
The 12 Best Yokocho (Izakaya Alleys) In Tokyo You Need To Visit
It was a cool sight to see, especially at night! With all of the city lights lit up so bright. Then you get to walk around afterwards and find an Izakaya to eat at! 😋
Shibuya Crossing - Shibuya, Tokyo - Japan Travel
Here’s a shopping recommendation: Gelato Pique is Japan’s #1 luxury loungewear brand! I have so many pieces from them. Expect to leave Japan feeling extra cozy! 🍰🤍🧸✨
(I also have a YouTube haul video about them)
Gelato Pique
Another shopping recommendation: Book-Off! If you’re into second hand designer goods, this place is for you! They have really good deals and the items they’re reselling are in tip-top shape! 😁✨
