Late Summer days in Osaka 🌿🇯🇵| Hidden Japanese Garden & Nakazakicho Café Gems | Japan travel vlog
Hey guys, we’re back in Osaka Starting today in a really peaceful spot A beautiful garden just right at the heart of the city It’s the perfect place to enjoy late summer days Walking here feels like stepping into another world The sound of water and the greenery is so relaxing Feeling completely recharged, like this place has cleared my mind Now I’m heading to Nakazakicho to explore the cafe scene and see what’s around I like to research cafes before traveling, and today I picked Douceur for its cozy vibe The cakes look beautiful… so delicate and perfectly presented I love the warm wooden tones everywhere Despite being compact, it feels open, serene, and very relaxing This looks like a perfect place to enjoy my coffee I love discovering cafes that are more than just coffee They’re a charming, peaceful experience in themselves

This shop is full of unique vintage and artisanal items It really captures the spirit of Nakazakicho, known for its creativity, quirky charm, and love for unique, artistic treasure Since they’re okay with me filming here, I think I’ll get this magnet as a little thank you I’m amazed by how many items there are in here Now I’m on my way to another cafe, this time to try some matcha I first spotted this place on Instagram, and it immediately caught my attention Like many cafes here in Osaka, it’s compact but still feels cozy and inviting The barista’s focus reminds me of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony,
where every movement has meaning Whisking blends the powder into a smooth, frothy texture that feels light and creamy It makes me so glad I chose this café and got to experience it in person Sadly, this café was sold out, even though I was eager to try it Casetify is a global brand known for stylish and customizable phone cases Limited-edition items here often become collector’s pieces You can personalize your case, making it completely your own Starting layover number two in Osaka,
and I’m back in Nakazakicho to explore more of the area

Last time, I only had 24 hours to check out the café scene here It left me intrigued, wanting to see more Let’s explore and see what more hidden café gems we can find today You can smell the beans being freshly roasted the moment you step in. Here, the coffee is made with the siphon method that’s often used in Japan for high-quality coffee It’s absolutely delicious! You can also buy coffee pouches from here This apple candy specialty store is located in a back alley in Nakazaki-cho It’s entirely devoted to apples in creative and unique ways I think the little decorative touches, like tiny ornaments, add so much character I think this little hidden gem is a must-visit if you’re exploring Nakazakicho

I’m picking up an Onigiri for a snack later But I came to 7-Eleven just to try something I saw on social media The smoothie making robot 🌀🍹 Let’s see how it works This is such a fun and unique way to enjoy a healthy snack in Japan Before heading back to the hotel, let’s go grab some takoyaki These octopus balls are a must-try when in Dotonbori The sauce, mayo, and bonito flakes on top make it perfect I still have a few hours left to enjoy exploring Osaka before I have to head back This street is called Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street It’s a great place to find kitchen items, beautiful pottery and all kinds of cookware I found these really nice chopsticks And they come with a matching little plate for them I’m also getting this sticker sheet This is such an amazing place for Japanese themed clothing I’m grabbing a couple of T-shirts as souvenirs And that wraps up my quick layover here in Osaka Thank you so much for joining me on this short adventure See you in the next one, from my next destination!
