Go to Universal Studios Japan on a hot day, go back to the top door at 7:30 to line up, and the first thing is to shake Mario tickets. In the afternoon, I was too tired to go to the opposite hotel to rest, ask to come back again, the staff will stamp you, the chapter is invisible, you can see it in their light.

The experience of the sea tour hall is superb, the Starbucks scenery at the exit is beautiful, and there is a pier where you can take a cruise to Universal Studios on the other side! The entire sea tour hall is reasonable, and the loan of the interpreter is also very convenient. It is worth a visit!

While the castle itself may seem overrated, the surrounding and the park is absolutely a treat. I would definitely recommend to take the inter park train, walk around the castle and check out their merch shop.

Tongtiange is a frequent scene in Japanese animation and film and television dramas. It is the most visited attraction in Osaka. Tongtiange has many subways passing by. You have a variety of food and merchandise stores, zoos and municipal art galleries, which are very convenient. Online appointments, no need to pick up tickets, lack of paper bills collection. There are many tourists visiting, waiting for 20 minutes to board the pavilion, there are official photos upstairs, first indoor to see, then outdoor unobstructed, downstairs there are various cultural and creative products, it feels very user-friendly.

蓝星旅行者

Step out of Shinsaibashi subway station and you will instantly fall into the space-time tunnel of the arcade. Under the 600-meter-long translucent dome, the cobblestone road reflects the warm light of British street lamps, and the red brick buildings on both sides are like folded chessboards - this is the elegant background of the &quot;European Village&quot;. With your fingertips brushing the brick wall of the century-old shop, the Daimaru Department Store, which evolved from Matsuya, stands as a retro landmark: the ochre-red lattice window lattices are inlaid with milky white reliefs, and fashionable customers carrying paper bags flow under the Baroque dome, as if the Edo merchant spirit is still wandering between the windows.

Turn west into the American Village, and the style of the painting changes suddenly! Fluorescent graffiti is splashed on the mottled walls. In the rebellious visual rock, the legendary red lattice house jumps into the eye - bright geometric blocks are stacked like a Rubik&#39;s Cube, the window frames are painted Klein blue, the stairs are spiraled out of lemon yellow, and the trendy brand store on the second floor is hung with riveted leather jackets, like fragments of another dimension torn from comics. Teenagers skated under the wall, and the hip-hop rhythm and the aroma of latte collided in the air.

When dusk covered the bridge with golden gauze, you must check in at Dotonbori Ebisu Bridge! The giant Glico runner sign cast a neon phantom on the river. Looking across the river, the red checkered house turned into a maze of lights, performing a cyberpunk carnival with the mechanical crab waving at Kani Doraku and the roaring dragon head of Jinlong Ramen. The evening breeze brought the burnt aroma of takoyaki, leaning on the bridge railing to bite through the golden crispy skin, watching the cruise ship full of laughter shattering the neon reflection - at this moment, I understand that the magic of Shinsaibashi is growing wildly in the cracks between European elegance and American publicity.

&quot;When the solemnity of the red brick dome meets the madness of the graffiti grid, I know that the soul of Osaka is a hybrid of commercial genes and street art.&quot;
