Tako is Octopus!!!!!!! Takoyaki is octopus balls!

[@heartsing6459]

Your editing and content are amazing! You deserve a lot more recognition!

[@dargardargar]

I lived in Osaka Shinsaibashi area for 20 years. I return every few years. The city will always remain embedded in my heart.

[@grrrltraveler]

Awesome - 20years!

[@junpangan8723]

Very informative and all sights are presented with ample time.

[@hollish5915]

Being a little technical, but takoyaki contains a piece of octopus, not squid, as it is mentioned several times.

[@spiceenut]

Fellow Hawaiian here really wanting to vacation in Japan; a must on my ever growing bucket list. Thank you for this!

[@grrrltraveler]

Definite must / great city; awesome base camp for many cities. Check out my blog for itinerary details. I did a Osaka-Nara-Kyoto trip.

[@grrrltraveler]

Glad you think so!

[@linnyunt]

Cool list, Christine. I would say a visit to Abeno Harukas would be a cool thing to do. It's Japan's tallest skyscraper at 300m and gives a great view from their viewing deck. And thanks for letting me relive the kushikatsu we had together. I haven't had kushikatsu in over a year because of COVID. Hope to see you again!

[@grrrltraveler]

Thanks for sharing that Shinsekai day. I loved that place- so Coney Island ! We’ll have to do something again next time I visit. ❤️ Yep, missed Harukas; it felt far lol. 😅 Osaka is kinda spread out compared to Kyoto and Tokyo. I also wished I made it to Korea town and the robot sushi joint. Ah well next time..

[@pradeepsahu1203]

Cherry Blossoms 🌸❤ the one thing I love the most from all the animes..

[@ShapeyFiend]

This is well put together. It doesn't look like the prettiest place in the world but quite lively and entertaining.

[@grrrltraveler]

Exactly what it is!

[@natto-zl3xl]

[@SendMoreParamedics13]

Tako=octopus. 🐙 I miss Osaka. One of my favorite cities for sure!

[@JayDollarhide]

Someday I hope to get here! I have students that have stayed in our house from Osaka, and it would be great to meet them in their own hometown. As always in your videos, the food looks delicious! All the characters make me smile, too, hehe. Oh yeah, and the seafood and markets are a couple favorites of mine, too. Thanks for another great video, Christine! ❤️

[@grrrltraveler]

Cool. You’d have some on e to show you around if you ever went. 😃✨

Osaka is #1 on my itinerary. I want to be there for at least a few days to really get a feel of the city. Tokyo is a given, but I really want to work my way up to the Hokkaido prefecture.

Hello Christine, Good video... You are a lot braver than I am going the big wheel and those walkways... I remember going up the cable car in Palm Springs once and not wanting to get back in to go down - lol. I liked the quieter parts of Osaka. Take care. Paul,,

Osaka 🤤 the best Okonomiyaki & Yakisoba I had was at Ajinoya honten. Upon leaving i noticed that it’s listed in Michelin Guide. Queues are crazy at night but go for lunch (less crowded) if you’ve not tried it.

[@grrrltraveler]

Home of okonomiyaki! Thanks for the tip- What neighborhood is Ajinoya?

Can I use some of your clips for a project im doing for my Japanese class? If so, thank you!

If you ever go to Holland try poffertjes, when made it looks like the making of takoyaki haha only the filling is different

[@kjellcarminati1018]

Amazing and I'm a big fan of anime & manga. The food looks great.But maybe i would need a guide to visit.I'm known to get lost. I once paid for a tour in turkey and I got lost & they left without us both my wife and me where in a panic then.

[@sorfina]

Great video love!!! I'm afraid of heights too!!😅 By the way a question how many days in Osaka do I need to cover all the areas you showed in your video. I'm thinking of 4D3N Osaka and 3D2N Kyoto once travel restrictions are lifted, do you think that will suffice?

[@grrrltraveler]

I did around four days 👍

[@sorfina]

Awesome thanks!😘

[@grrrltraveler]

Btw- written Kyoto travel guides are on my blog.

[@bonnidouglas3104]

Hello, thanks for your video. Please can you tell me the name of the song?. 07:06

Please be mindful in putting the business names that you visit (or just pan their menu when you order) because I would want to try the fried stuff too when I am in Osaka.

The billiken is actually from America, they borrowed it from a university that had it as it's mascot. Also at the shrine, those are ropes for calling the gods to your prayer.

[@grrrltraveler]

Yes- Detroit or Baltimore or something like that. Pretty crazy it would be adopted in Japan. Wonder what the artist thinks of this?

How did you get to Namba station?

Do you allow to drive American cars in the street of Osaka. I heard that driver side should be on the right.

[@grrrltraveler]

Dunno. I took public transpo. =D

I'm from Osaka. There is nothing wrong with driving an American car in Japan. I think that there is almost no problem even if the driver's seat is on the left side.

May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?😊🤠😀
