Living in Japan - December in Osaka 🎄

[@seerasan]

Already the 3rd video in this festive December series vlog 🥰 Which spot would you wanna visit? Man...I love Osaka so much, everyone is soooo friendly & such good food always 🫶

[@eliasatalah86]

On my flight to Tokyo watching this. Now considering going to Osaka. LOL.

[@froglady4360]

Osaka is my 1st choice of anywhere in Japan. I visit twice a year and sometimes that is not enough ♥️

[@eliasatalah86]

@@froglady4360 I really liked Kyoto more than Osaka other than food. LOL

[@froglady4360]

@@eliasatalah86I love all of Japan but Osaka just feels like home. I love where we stay and I’ve got to know the locals in that area. Being welcomed back every time we return is special. Osaka’s sense of humour is next level

[@JAYmeeFromAmerica]

Your videos make me miss Japan even more.

[@arthurg7894]

There was a Q&A video a while back where someone asked Sarah how she's able to be so positive all the time. I don't 100% remember her answer but it was something along the lines of she just made the choice to, and after a while she was able to pull herself out of the dark headspace she was in because of that choice. I found that so inspiring. The cafes and sights are awesome, but I get so hype for her energy. It's like a warm cup of hojicha on a cold day

[@NoFace89-z6z]

That was my question lol. The positive energy from her vids is so infectious!

[@arthurg7894]

@NoFace89-z6z Thank you for asking her then! I don't get down in the dumps often but when I do I actually think about her response the most

[@princess-violet]

a glass half fun kinda spirit

[@NoFace89-z6z]

Thanks for all the content! Always feel uplifted by the content and inspired for my next Japan visit. Wishing you a great Christmas!!! 🎄🎅🏼🎁

[@seerasan]

Aw, that’s very kind of you! Thank you very much ☺️🎄✨

[@Toriicats]

The Christmas vibes in Japan are so magical. I love how they celebrate.

[@wanderingronin4685]

Osaka is My Favorite place in Japan, it's perfectly located to travel around All of Japan and there are so many things to do in and around Osaka

[@kamanama3671]

For dry weather, I recommend using a saline nasal spray. I was using that in the desert. And when it’s winter in the desert, it is 50 times worse. And I’ll work on that nose beanie❤

[@LonLonRanchDressing]

I’m loving these Christmas videos - so fun to see how Japan celebrates.

[@seerasan]

Yay I’m having fun making them too 😌🎄

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

After trying several popular Ramen shops in Tokyo, Kyoto, Sapporo, Osaka and recently Fukuoka....my favorite is still Yashichi in Osaka cos you can add on charred grilled chicken which infuses smokiness into the rich broth

[@michaelanderson1476]

Love your vlogs! Love Osaka! Love Japan!!❤️🇯🇵🎉

[@DJMilez]

I love these videos so much. Keep it up!

[@janusu]

Osaka! The place I left my heart.. I was just back for a few weeks this past summer, but now I'm in the States again feeling nostalgic. I've never been to the Midosuji illumination. I wonder if that's new, or if I just didn't know about it when I lived in the area. Probably the latter. I used to go to the Kobe Luminarie every year. I'll have to explore Shinsekai more next time I have a chance to travel back to Osaka. That kushikatsu shop looks so nice! I think tonkotsu shops are also know for their unlimited cabbage. I love that. When in Umeda, I love to go to Hanadako for my takoyaki fix. It's in the Shin-Umeda Shokudogai under Hankyu Umeda station, near the crosswalk that connects to JR Osaka station. Hanadako has been there for many decades, I think since the Shin-Umeda Shokudogai opened in the 1950's. Highly recommend if you get a chance to check it out.

[@princess-violet]

A nose beanie! How adorable. My brother learned crochet at school when he was 7, and made nose beanie that he gifted for Christmas to my mom. lol. It was at the Grundschule.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Great job as usual. Happy Holidays!

[@Fujitahomaxi]

Wow Sara is on a roll. Keep it on! 🎄

[@alexperez2308]

Perfect timing I will be visiting for the first time and staying in Osaka on Friday

[@seerasan]

Yay enjoy Osaka!! It’s an incredible city 😆

[@alexperez2308]

@ I am very excited your Hakone video was also very helpful. The Amasake Tea House was an amazing experience

[@dbl0fluff]

Osaka blows Tokyo Christmas Market away. Spectacular vlog, can’t wait to see more on this trip.

[@billhendricks3143]

Love it!! Solo outings can be the best thing ever and you’re living!!! More please

[@dhitch5572]

Love Osaka's blue and purple lights. Seems like a chill, fun place to celebrate ... someday maybe. Thanks

[@Highwind2013]

Merry Christmas Sarah! I appreciate all the videos you are making about Japan as I want to go there one day and hope 2025 will be even a better year for you 🎄

[@JP-hs3uv]

I’ve been loving all your festive December videos!! I look forward to the Universal Studios one! 🎄

[@Barbarian14]

Oh girl, you are really makes my December feel different. Ahahha. Can't wait for your another vlog. Keep healthy Sarah. 🎉

[@silverian]

Henry has galactic size of pizzas! Really nice Christmas decorations and night time illumination!

[@magenof1440]

You’ve been spoiling us with the amount of videos, thanks! Happy holidays!

[@matthewhill5726]

Your vlogs are getting better and better! Excited for your upcoming vid on Universal Studios so I can see how it compares with the parks in Orlando and Hollywood 🙂🎄

[@TomDorantes]

Christmas drops hard in Japan. We arrived in the 28th of November and no decorations. By the time we were up walking around Chiba on 12/1 there were decorations everywhere. We loved Osaka!!! But were bummed out the Donkey Kong land wasn’t open to the general public went to USJ on 12/3. That Christmas tree at USJ was very impressive. can’t wait for your video about your trip to USJ.

[@DHaworth100]

I look forward to your videos on this seasonal trip. I look forward to the next one.

[@lisawilliams1927]

You are the first person to show pizza & l watch a lot of videos on Japan trips thanks

[@seerasan]

Japan has some of the best pizza, even Italian style! Will have to keep showcasing it - didn’t think people would be interested 😆

[@seerasan]

It’s so tasty right 😋

[@adventuresofuncletony]

I miss Henry’s pizza. That will be my first stop when l get back to Osaka

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

What fun activities, thanks for taking us around Osaka 😊I'm in Québec City which is a very Christmas-y place LOL. Not doing Vlogmas this year but I did in 2022 so I have a ton on my channel. I am doing a weekly Christmas-themed video for December though. I am making notes for the kushikatsu place in Osaka for when I visit Japan in a few years (I wan tto go to the good tasting one lol) and I would totally love doing the illuminations and Christmas plate place 🎄

[@svenp.8378]

Du freust dich so sehr über einen tollen Weihnachtsmarkt. Da muss nächstes Jahr zu Weihnachten eine Reise nach Dresden kommen. 🎅👍🏻

[@JP_world_traveller]

Hi how are you going? Almost every weekend I come to Umeda,Osaka,Japan. Hankyu department store in Umeda,Osaka,Japan holds Christmas events so on on the 9th floor of it every year. My Japanese mate and I saw the Christmas light's ceremony in Midosuji street on the 3rd of November,2024 and we walked back for Umeda,Osaka,Japan. so great that ye have been on the Umeda shimichi pedestrian bridge where Judas priest's vocalist Mr Rob Halford took some pictures of Christmas light or illuminations from the bridge whilst he stayed in Osaka,Japan. :) Actually I walked on the bridge last Saturday as I walked home from other Christmas event called Osaka Hikari Renaissance held from the 14th of December to Christmas including Projection mapping on Osaka city central public hall in Nakanoshima park,Osaka,Japan every year. I was born in Osaka prefecture so I am so pleased to hear You love Osaka. cheers

[@LoopieLupie-p5u]

Yesss! I went to a Naruto Taiyaki Honpo when I was in Tokyo in October (near Daimon station). The custard one was super sweet but so hot and crispy and comforting.

[@roderickburns5151]

Thank you beautiful lady for this video. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family!!!!!!!!

[@flowergarden9129]

Hallo Sarah, wir (ein 50+ couple) lieben deine Videos und schauen sie schon ne ganze Weile. Du wirst immer besser und nächstes Jahr wollen wir endlich nach Japan reisen, auch weil du es uns so schmackhaft gemacht hast. Viele herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland. Frohe Weihnachten und ein gesundes und erfolgreiches 2025. 👋🎋

[@Cadmeus]

I'm impressed you can get stollen in Japan! It's my favourite winter thing, definitely prefer it to British style fruitcake. Also, all those lights are super pretty, I'm not much for celebrating this time of year but that would definitely lift my mood. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@seerasan]

I’ve been seeing stollen for sale everywhere this year - supermarkets, bakeries and even as snack flavours for cookies!

[@spacecow149]

have a great Christmas :)

[@Suikage]

Not sure if it’s helpful, but you could always wear a mask I suppose, it helped me during covid winters

exquisite car at 4:02, that orange bath bomb is quite interesting! I got to say out of all the vege, cabbage is one I love, I can eat my weight in cabbage at this point

[@Leonardo_M_0923]

Places with very interesting Christmas decorations! I haven't been to Nanba for a long time 🤔 The lighting is beautiful too, I need to go. Seerasan, I'm here, I'm your love 😂 Nice trip in Osaka 👍🏻

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

I wanna see those lights

[@OliverHoerold]

I always enjoy your videos. Thanks a lot! Nasic offers a "nose balm" (Pflegestift für die Nase). ). I don't know if you can get something similar in Japan.

Another fun video. Wish I was there. TFS

Kinda funny that the ad for the osaka Christmas market uses the Christmas market of Bremen which is where I live

Luv the look of the cakes and dessert alas they aren't vegetarian so i couldn't have the yummys 😢 luv japan in winter

If you don't upload a video beforehand i hope you have a great xmas + new year Sarah 😀

[@seerasan]

There will be more coming before the end of the year!! 🤭✨

[@colinmathie2710]

@@seerasan Cool. I still hope you have a great holiday time anyway 😄

[@Kaaru5344]

That was the best-looking pizza I've seen Japan come out with and quite some time. usually the pizza I see coming out of Japan looks like it came out of a microwave.

[@kellietatt]

A tip for your nose, put some clear unscented lip balm on it, just rub it in and it should help ! That's what i do in winter :)

[@Torontoflatlander]

Osaka does Christmas right. I was in Ueno on Christmas day last year and the most festive thing I saw were the KFC delivery drivers on their mopeds wearing Santa hats.

[@seerasan]

What a sight to see 😂🧑‍🎄🍗

[@cooperkid953]

Where did you get those mittens?? They look perfect! Also, thank you for taking us on your Osaka trip! It looked like a really good time :)

[@esthervolkening3568]

Wish I could see these Christmas lights in real life so so pretty 😍 Will you do a similar New Year's time in Tokyo video?

[@AUCKata]

Sarah needs a big red clown nose for her cold nose 😄 I went to Umeda Sky Building when I was in Osaka in Dec last year. Such a funky looking building. Got some breathtaking views of the Osaka night 💜

[@helvetiqa]

For pizza in Osaka, strongly recommend La Pizza Napoletana Regalo in Fukushima! I still get lost in Osaka Station/Umeda so don't worry :)

[@emmanuelpark6185]

Love You seerasan ❤

[@WOOF95]

That Christmas plate was very pretty. I'm very surprised to see just how festive the city is for the holiday season! Are you spending Christmas back in Australia or in Tokyo? Regardless, have a very happy Christmas and New Year! May nice surprises await you this holiday season and in the New Year!!

[@thebluereason]

I definitely got lost in Osaka station, trying to find my way out for hours. It might be worse than Shibuya lol

Osaka probably has the wisest mayor/governor! They are totally doing what Shibuya in Tokyo is banning/avoiding! Osaka is the place to be for foreign Festivities like Halloween or Christmas, Osaka likes to PARTY! Support Osaka!

Hello love your videos

[@Taurusus]

There was something about Osaka Station that really threw me off in a way it's hard to articulate. Like... It was facing the wrong direction. It felt like this one entrance should have been on the West side, but it wasn't? So using it as a landmark when getting around the city was a fool's errand and it caught me offguard all the gorramn time.

For your nose getting cold and itchy try get more magnesium and calcium into your diet, mainly for nose itchiness. You might be lacking magnesium. Calcium helps your body assimilate the magnesium.
