It's nice to be on another walk with you through Osaka, Rion. Glad to see that you've been meeting your Gaomunity along the way. I like your haircut and perm, and I think your hair looks good both long and short. Let's keep walking! 👍

[@locp]

Thank you for the video, Rion. My family and I were traveling in Osaka in December, walked the same route as in the video. Certainly brought back lots of nice memories. Looking forward to your videos in Kyoto and Nara 👍

[@ksenijacizek5901]

Wow, always picturesque Osaka, still crowded (so many viewers already there), but not overcrowded yet, with its vivid armosphere plus Rion with his new lovely cut and permed hairstyle, what a fun to watch. The only sad thing, the Sakura in it's ful bloom is still keeping us waiting although the day seems to be pretty warm and sunny Anyhow, let be patient and the day or the week of a ful bloom will come for sure. Till then mata ne and GAOO.....

[@dennistani1986]

Rion, glad to see your back home in Osaka!! There is a Japanese youtuber named Ghib that visited that "bad" area of Osaka. The people there seemed very friendly. Also he found a hotel room for around ¥1,500, very good price!

[@dennistani1986]

Forgot to mention, that ¥1,500 yen room was small, but clean. I can see why backpackers would go there, cheap clean lodgings.

[@purpleglasses731]

Wow, Osaka is really getting crowded. 😮 However, the vibes are more chill compared to Tokyo. Hope to visit Osaka one day. The bento looked yummy. I enjoyed the walk and the tour through the aracades and Denden Town. You look so happy being back in your hometown and meeting viewers as you film 😊 Your haircut looks great and your pops did an awesome job👍🏽 I know it is tedious to care for, but I like your parted longer hairstyles because it looks effortlessly cool😆

[@AgentMashGaming]

Best thing after a long day of editing... Binge watching Rion Ishida videos =D Thanks Rion for taking me on these awesome walks! ^^

[@susantielenburg5926]

After many years of watching your videos we are finally here! Today we visited Dotonbori but thought it was not too bad. Monday we will visit Kyoto, we expect much crowd. Thank you for guiding and preparing us the past few years❤

[@siners77]

Should be there In 2 days, hope to have a good time. Thanks for the video

[@ArchAngel149]

I was watching your videos for quite some time before. Glad to have met you randomly on my first visit to Japan Rion! 😊

[@Kaide98]

This place is one of the most visited places be it day or night. If I visit Osaka again will come back here for more

[@JY-ft6ui]

I was in Osaka last year but walked to Kuroman market first before heading to Dotonbori. Because it was so crowded, I did not explore much in Dotonbori. Let's keep walking to Kyoto and Nara. Have a good weekend.

[@DeanaandPhil]

Love the city!

[@AmbientWalking]

Liked! Always such a pleasure to go on a journey with you. It makes my day! 😁😁😁

[@midge007]

It's so interesting to see how busy it gets! I remember when you were walking around here during the pandemic and how quiet it was. Very neat though and hope to visit in the near future!!

[@paripitiffany]

What a steal! That bento looks tastier & healthier than the peanut butter & jelly sandwich I ate on the daily during my training days. 😋 Hehe, even the shape of those onigiri have an Osakan vibe compared to the ones at Tokyo Station. 😎 Your dad did great again. ✨ Wondering if your parents or relatives were at the 1970 Expo in Osaka. My parents were at the 2010 one in Shanghai. So excited for 2025! 👊

[@RionIshida]

Never asked about it🤣🤯 Let me ask👍

[@DanielReyes-lu5ui]

i stayed there last january, it was so convenient especially when going to and from the airport. no more subway transfer to my hotel and it was way more cheaper than staying dotonbori

[@happyhuang9541]

7:03 If you come here and play, you will lose track of time♪😄, 7:39 There are so many set meals to choose from, so we don’t have to worry about what to eat, it’s a good time for family and friends to have dinner together😋! 11:27 Fresh and wide selection of fried skewers, so good👍😋! 12:39 This is the gashapon area that tourists like 😁! 16:38 The chikuwa and white fish are very meccha Oishiii , and the seaweed is great with rice😋! 23:11 The sakura season is about to begin🌸😍! 31:34 The shrine Hozenji Temple has fascinating history and distinctive characteristics😌🙏. 38:00 It is true that many delicacies in Kuromon Market are cooked with unique condiments, which are difficult to buy anywhere else in the world. Oden is a must-eat civilian delicacy in winter🍢😋👍! 39:18 aiya! fortunately, Rion still remembered to eat onigiri ramen egg with chashu, meccha Oishiii 😯😋👍! 41:44 Rion with short hair is cuter, while Rion with long hair is more mature😁! Thank you so much Rion let’s keep walking at Namba Dotonbori, the latest situation shows that the crowd is starting to get crowded😮‍💨😅🤝!

[@hwooi1986]

Looks good in either, but I personally will prefer shorter hair. Glad that there is Osaka local guide tour from you .

[@huntress44]

4:00 I miss this place! I was in Osaka last October and stayed in this area (Namba Ebisu Hotel). I did not feel unsafe at all. And that Donki store is so huge it took us over 3 hours to get out hehe

[@4thehills]

Thank you for the tour! So helpful as we plan our trip for the fall. Looking forward to your videos of Kyoto and Nara 👍🏻. I vote for the short hair. Looks good.

[@aya-san119]

So nice walking tour on a beautiful day around Osaka. Do tourists flocked more in these places in spring or autumn? Hope I can fly there during sakura season!😊 Your new permed hair suits you. Excitedly waiting for your Kyoto and Nara visit. Gaoo🦁

[@localbrod]

I’ll be watching this once I get home.

Hi Rion, Thank you for another wonderful walk. Always look forward to watching them. Good luck to you❤

[@sherylramos2041]

Thank you for another wonderful video! I hope you can visit Mt. Yoshino when you go to Nara 😊

I’m so happy to see this video as I was just there a few days ago!

[@elfelizardo6182]

Rion, we’ll be going to Osaka soon. Can you show us the bay area of Osaka?

[@RionIshida]

I have made cruise to ISJ and also Kaiyukan videos too, pls check my old videos too😊

[@timuatchris]

Such a nice and humble guy. And always with that upbeat spirit. Love your videos Rion. We will be travelling to Japan last week of June until mid July, and hope to stumble upon and "gaooo" you in the streets =))

Nice! Can’t wait to be in Osaka and Kyoto again 👏🏻 enjoyed this video ❤ Let’s keep walking!

☝️👑 Always a 'sweet-a' walk with you Rion ... Gaooooo 👋 I'll be staying in Osaka for 3 days next month so perfect timing for the walk 👌 I'm planning to finally buy a Japanese BBQ fish griller this trip, I spotted some in Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street during your walk 🐟👍 Will be my 10th trip to Japan 😊

[@givemaboot]

Great Video! Thank you

[@yukiagu]

Hi Rion!!! Ok so I'm definitely going to try and go to Osaka in 2025!!! I saw Avantgardey ad for Osaka Kitena and I just love that girl group and also since it's your hometown and I've never been, I'd love to go! I just can't this year when I visit in November so hopefully I'll run into you in Tokyo! Thanks for the fun video! Osaka looks so vibrant and exciting ❤😊🎉

Nice hair cut!

[@pjpororo323]

I appreciate the fact that you try 'cheaper and not so touristy local fast food" for non Japanese so we can have an option too. Definitely very affordable!

[@williamwong334]

Love to see more local people's foods and places. Hope to watch a live stream of sakura walk ~ 🌸😊

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Thank you

[@RyuSaga99]

お疲れ様～ Thanks for showing us around Shinimamiya now. I stayed there when I was a broke exchange student in Hokkaido and visiting my girlfriend in Osaka. It used to be so sketchy. Because it was my first time in Osaka, I explored the area on my own and wandered in old abandoned 商店街. It was so scary. Going to be staying there again in a few weeks after my friends told me it's no longer sketchy as before. Hopefully I don't regret it 😂.

[@flourishwithzel]

I watched the whole video. Thank you Rion for showing all these streets in Osaka especially Shinsekai, Shin-imamiya and Dotonbori Streets. It was nice relieving all my walks in there back in 2018. It was a delight to see them again now and they didn't change much. I will also remember that Hozenji (?) Yokocho street when I go back. It's giving mini Omoide Yokocho. I miss those areas! ❤

[@nemarvel]

Love your voice and your attitude! xx :D

[@elenageorgiou4552]

Thanks Rion for the videos!!! Really missing Osaka. Such a beautiful city! Can't wait to visit Japan next year! 🇯🇵 Love from Cyprus 🇨🇾, a small eastern meditterranean island!

[@trias9056]

Hello, there is alot of just Osaka and Tokyo videos lately and they feel kind of the same. Would love to see other parts of Japan!

[@MsAva12]

Agree to this. Also, videos are too long and gets a little boring as it goes. I appreciate Rion giving us updates, but I hope to see more of Japan other than Tokyo and Osaka.

[@GreyOatmeal]

Really fantastic video! I really want some Chikuwa now!

[@taniamonika2003]

Thank u for ur video,Rion. Can’t wait to visit Osaka again & Kansai area this November. All food in Japan are always interesting,like bento & onigiri. Love it so much ❤. Hope u can also make a video in Kyoto,Hiroshima & Hakata again too 😍.

[@riverraven4014]

Thankyou for another video, I think the long hair looks better but whatever you want

[@leonwardz3999]

So having watched you video I have one question,what are the mario carts that I've seen in a few of your journeys now ? Looking forward to your future videos.

[@bdivina8559]

Thanks much it's more exciting to visit Japan, for our next trip Kyoto and Osaka..last month we've been 8days in Sapporo ,Hokkaido

Mornings Rion from Jakarta

[@JonathanSo-Fitnessship]

nice haircut!!

[@Rainbowgem22]

Osaka is such a great city! 🏙️ Dotonbori was one of my favourite places to visit. You seem really happy to be back in Osaka, Rion, it’s nice to see. 😊 I hope the Sakura is blooming when you visit Kyoto. 🌸 I like your hair both ways, maybe you can keep it short in the hot summer and the parted hairstyle whenever it gets long? It’s up to you, though! Anyway, thank you for the new video! Gaooooo! 🦁

[@mattwalker1199]

Arriving in osaka today. Hopefully we see you walking. hehehe.

[@nyatella]

rion-san, thanks for always making awesome videos, would you do a video comparing the 3 conbini coffee, ikura onigiri, tuna mayo onigiri, and egg sando, and fried chicken? maybe 1 video for each food item?

GAOOO!!🦁🦁

Gaoooo🦁

[@f3a15]

Hi Rion, what does make southern part of shin-imamiya station a little bit unsafe for family traveler? Is it because a red-light district nearby? 😂 We plan to stay around that area next week, hopefully everything goes smoothly. Thank you for your good content!!

[@noptakrit]

9 a.m. on April 1, 2024 I left the hotel in the Shin-Imamiya area. It was a very nice day, no rain, beautiful sky. I went to Wakayama and enjoyed nature and cherry blossoms at the castle. I was so right about going out that day. Originally, I had planned to rest in a hotel because the day before, I had traveled to Amanohashidate and Ine until my legs ached. And of course, am one man eats dinner from Origin shop and beer from Tamade Supermarket.

[@mirasga]

I was at Shinsekai last Sunday! ❤

[@dddoug1103]

Hi Rion-san. I am so glad that you made this video. I am planning to come to Osaka and sightseeing the Kansai region in Late May to Early June. I am thinking to book hotels closed to Namba station, and Shin Osaka station during my visit. If I see you on the street in Osaka, I will say HI. Please do more videos about the Kansai area. Hope I will see you in Osaka or Kyoto. :)

[@thunderbrian-pf7db]

could you introduce places like Fukui, Tsuruga, Toyama, Takasaki, Nagano etc..

[@jeff1bruin]

I hope the sakuras will bloom slower so I can see them again when I visit Osaka end of month.

[@kakarott5243]

I've been fascinated of Japan ever since I was a kid and I was wonder if you know the contact of any vending machine companies especially those that sell wagashi as well as canned noodles and soup.

[@aaronconnectsworld]

Japan is so amazing I want to live there so bad

[@gameflikxx]

very informative as always! do you think the sakura flowers in Osaka will last till April 9 onwards ?

[@ronald_queh]

Hi Rion, Thanks for the detailed introduction to Osaka. I am planning to come next March, or probably during the Osaka Expo 2025 period. I am wondering why you like to go to that hidden shrine, is it because you like the quiet there? I will try this "treasure hunt" when I come to Osaka to find out. 😄 Marked the Sushizanmai store which I have visited when I was in Ueno. It must be somewhere near to it, based on your video. I like your hair, but wow, cut by your father? I know your brother also do haircut.

[@HayzHayzeeeeee]

Life of Tom is in Japan! If you guys did a collab video it would be the funniest video ever!

[@RionIshida]

I believe you have a good chance! Next week will be full bloom and usually stay there about a week or two!

[@rubicelavargas8793]

Rion did you ever give away that Tokyo towers hello kitty coin? You have shown quite a few fans saying hello in videos since you made the coin. I just wonder if anyone has ever said the “code word” to claim the prize?

[@AmicusCuriae-mw2tw]

Hi, Rion-san. Will be visiting the Kansai region (Osaka, Nara, Kobe, Kyoto) last week of April. I know, Golden Week, probably the worst time to go to Japan. Unfortunately we couldn't rebook our flights anymore. Anyway, just wanted to ask -- by the time we get there, will there be still cherry blossoms in the Kansai region? Or, perhaps, any suggestion on places to go in Osaka with nice view but fewer people, especially in light of the Golden Week celebration in Japan? Thank you very much and keep up the good work.

[@shoiku4734]

I might coincidentally see you when you're doing a video because I have to plan a trip to Osaka/Japan to not keep coming into Thailand. If only Japan fixes the PFAS water contamination issue...I'm afraid to drink the tap water & bottled water (worldwide micro-plastic particles water bottles problem).
