Had the best ramen in Osaka - so many different types!! Creamy or clear broth, so many flavours it was delish
Ramen 🍜
This was delicious!! There was a line up, but went so quickly. The beef literally melted in your mouth and all the side dishes just elevated the dish more 🤤
【公式】牛かつもと村 渋谷店
The fried chicken slapped at the convenience stores, it was a pro and con with them being open all hours of the day. Def recommend the spicy fried chicken! 🐔

Walking 20k-30k steps in Japan was insane. These are my recs for shoes, still stylish but had the comfort my poor feet needed

Literallyyyy any UV protective umbrella. The 🌞 was very bitey and hot. This was an extra protection to not get burnt, especially as someone with sensitive and easy to burn skin 🥵
Cover Me Umbrellas
This is the closest fan I can find to the one purchased in Japan. But this definitely helped to feel cooler in that humidity and it was super cute, having 5 different levels fan speed 🌀
Sanrio Cinnamoroll 2-Way Fan
This was the number one sunscreen I used while in Japan, it was easy to pack and kept my skin from being burnt in the crispy sun 🥵

Osaka Castle was awesome! 🤩 This was probably my favourite sight to see! We didn’t go during cherry blossom season, but that would be even more beautiful 🌸
