Osaka Travel Vlog – 2nd hand shopping, Nintendo World

We’ve landed now in Japan, specifically in Osaka to start our Japan side of our trip. So, if you haven’t watched my Korea vlog, I’ll make sure to link it below and just look up on the playlist that’ll be there. But, this will be about a 6 day or 7-day stay in Japan, 3 days here in Osaka, and then three nights in Tokyo. So, we’ve just checked into the W Hotel. Let’s check out the room. [Music] Heat. [Music] Hey, Heat. [Music] If you’ve been watching my channel, you know that today is the marathon on shopping day. So, I will be doing a lot of walking around and shopping today. It’ll be like a scavenger hunt. So, going to refresh, change, and run out. [Music] We started off with some sushi, salmon, and salmon with salmon row. And then I got a super fat tuna belly or something. And then they’re so good here. Smells so good. [Music] [Music] Okay, so we just had an amazing array of sushi. So good. I’m so full, but I am energized and ready to tackle this 5hour shopping/cavenger hunt. It’s already started out with a fail. We tried to check out PopMart. There was a line and a lottery and I was like, “Not doing that. That does not fit into my 5hour shopping spree. Right across from it is Onuka Tiger.” And I was like, “Great. There’s something there that I want.” Um, it is like insanity in there. I was like, “That also does not fit into my 5-hour shopping spree.” So now we are going to Shinsai Bashi Suji which I guess is like line from like left and right side with um secondhand retail stores. So let’s do this. We’ve trained all three weeks for this. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Oh, [Music] hey oh. [Music] Want to be just like you. Want to be to be just like you. Just be on you. [Music] Want to be just for you. be like you want to be just like you. [Music] So, my 5hour shopping scavenger hunt failed miserably. My phone died probably about halfway through. And my plan was to do a one sweep around of all the stores I wanted to go to, catalog and photograph like all of the bags that I had in mind and then compare them in prices and in condition and then go back to the place and actually try it on and purchase it. That was probably a little too optimistic and too overly ambitious. Such is my life. I’m always like, I can do it. I can do it. And then it comes to it and I’m like, just kidding. So, I will be skipping out on tomorrow’s activities like the Naro Park, but he will still be going and petting all of the deer. Hopefully, a deer. Hopefully, they don’t bite me. It’s just him and the deer. Oh, we’ll take videos and photographs and send it to me. So, now we’re just going to go around the street that I was just at and just do like a leisurely stroll, check out maybe some of the um cute like anime and Pokémon shops and do some light shopping. Tapanyaki and tapayaki. Oh, she was just I don’t know if people saw she was just carrying a Seline Phantom. I love it here so much. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Want to be just like you. Want to be just like be [Music] on you. for you. [Music] So, after Ooh, the food is here. The food is here. After um a lot of walking around, we finally settled on a dinner place. We’re right here along the river. We also promised ourselves that we wouldn’t be overindulging, especially on alcohol. So, we only promised ourselves one drink for the night. Just one beer tonight. Just the one. Just the one drink. [Music] [Music] Heat. Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] We are just relaxing now and getting a much needed beauty rest finally. Tomorrow is no alarm clock day. So, we’re just going to sleep in and hopefully we wake up at some point. The partner will be going to Nara Park. I will be doing my official shopping day. I’ve already bookmarked the places that I want to go to and the bags that I’ve seen and I’ve cataloged them into price range, color, and brands, and location. There are still a few stores that I want to go to. Um, so wish me luck that I get something. Yeah. See you guys tomorrow. Bye. [Music] So, I got this oniiri with salmon. And they also had these already like prepackaged coffee drinks. I got a caramel latte from cutlet and egg. And then we also got some grilled no fried cheese for breakfast. Sure. M. These are nuggets. Are these cheese or chicken? No, they’re chicken. I think the outside is cheese. The flavor. Awesome. Heat. Heat. N. [Music] Heat. Heat. N. [Music] down. You down. [Music] [Music] Okay. [Music] Hey. Hey. [Music] my [Music] mind [Music] more booty. [Music] You got to call me baby. [Music] Yeah. [Music] I’m [Music] [Applause] touch [Music] booty. those are together. You got to call me baby or night. [Music] My You’re right. I am a [Music] missing me right. [Music] Hey, touch. [Music] Hey, you know you like it. You got me feeling good. Right by your side. Lost in every move. Riding down your smile. Baby, hold me tight. Let me trace your lies. Keep it keep it low cuz you dpping it down. We going to boo it to the sun down. No baby girl look so fire. Can we tune it out? Show you all I know. Let me your mind. [Music] Give me another minute of your time. We’ll turn it upside down and be sick all night cuz we’ll switch it up inside out and down. Give all that you want. Let me make you say left, right, up and down. Let’s fall in love. Backtrack and do it over. Do it over. We just had dinner. Very good. We love eating. Uh, we love ordering through like a little vending machine thing. Just takes the whole language barrier out of the question. There’s photos. You know exactly what you’re going to get. And like it really makes the whole thing a lot smoother. The broth was very, very good. It has so much depth of flavor. Like after you I took a sip of the broth, I had to wait at least like 5 or 10 seconds to actually taste every bit and layer of the flavor profile, which was really, really good considering it wasn’t even like a fine dining place. It was just someone’s like regular kitchen. So, it was very, very good. Now, we are off to enjoy the night. The big plan for tomorrow is Nintendo World. Yay! We get I feel like while we’re here, we’re just eating and then becoming little kids again and enjoying the things that we used to love as kids. So, yeah, it’s a journey back to our childhood. Good night and see you tomorrow. Good morning, everyone. It’s our last full day here in where are we? Osaka. So, we’re starting off the day. The plan is basically the whole day at Universal Studios Japan. We really want to check out the Nintendo World. So hopefully we get uh timed entry tickets there. U but of course as you know we got to stay start out the day with some breakfast. So we’re going to the best breakfast place in town and that is at their local grocery store called Lawson. We had a really good breakfast yesterday. So we’re going to hope that today is good too. Thank you. Mixed tuna. Is this spam? Pork omelette and tuna mayonnaise. That sounds interesting. What do we want to drink? What do we want to drink? I think I’ll try the oicha latte. Let’s try the bonito flakes today. [Music] Girl, you got me down so bad. I can’t say enough. She pull up with that new thing. Please don’t fall in love cuz I think of you all day. Yeah, I was running through my brain. Can’t be nothing cuz I just know you got me thinking about forever. Got a crush crush crush on you. I just want to be your only crush crush crush on you. I’m not the tie. Give it all to your mind. Let me tell you now. I’ve got a crush crush crush on you. When I was looking outside and girl, you got me lost in your eyes. I got you when you’re falling. Yeah, we got it. Think that I won’t be here for long. Thinking of you all day. Yeah. Running around in my [Music] cuz I just know you got me thinking about forever. Got a crush crush crush on you. I just want to be your only crush. Crush crush on you. I’m like the T. Give it all to you, my love. Let me tell you now. I’ve got a crush crush crush on you. I want you more than just for a night. I’m just saying. I’m just saying you deserve it. I need you, baby.

I’m not the type to mush [Music] [Applause] crush crush on you. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heart beats up and down. I’m in a gambling phase. Going round and round. It’s a trampoline state. Oh, it’s never run out of breath. And I don’t care if we make a mess. It doesn’t matter what’s coming next. So, can we just be bonafide? Girl, you got me waking up. Lost in time. Every morning. We finally got to take our first break. It’s been such a nice day. It’s a little hot and very, very humid and under the sun. It just And this my little toad hat. It is like sweltering. But I got to do it for the fashion because it’s so cute. I love it so much. I I think I might live in this. I might go to work in this. I’ll sleep in this. I’ll go to the gym in this. It’s just so cute and it’s so soft. I keep petting my head. But um yeah, we’re taking a break. We’re getting some lunch. We’re here at a random like restaurant in the Amityville section or AMT section um that I guess is featured on Jaws. So everything is like Jaws themed. So we just got some basic I think this is like a popcorn poboy sandwich thing with fries. We’ll probably just like roam around. we’re not going to do any of the rides just because the wait times was like 2 hours or like sometime one of them was like 200 minutes. I was like um no thank you. Now we’re just going to enjoy some food before we head back out there. [Music] Can we just be born? [Music] Can we just be born? You’re stuck in this situation and let go all in the bushes now with no intermission. Why are you so so goddamn cold? Tell me why. Cuz you know this ain’t no love. Can we just be bonafide? Sure. You got me waking all confused. Lost in time. Every moment tastes like summer. Never get in love. Summer sugar kisses left behind. And I don’t want to fall in love. Just want to be your don’t want to be your love. Let’s keep it under low. Keep it under low cuz you know this ain’t no love. I want you to be bonafide. Girl, you got me waking up confused. Lost in time. Every moment tastes like never get enough. Summer sugar kisses left behind. And I don’t want to fall in love. Just want to be [Music] Can we just be born? Can we just be born? I have no luck in games. But it was our consolation prize. They had a cute little like pin pin Universal Studios remind us that we were losers. A [Music] my name on your screen. I am Becky Santa. I have me out. Now we’re heading up to the Omeda Sky Building. But first, a little cafe refresh. I got a a very very delicious chocolate oicha milk tea and the partner got a peach milk matcha. Very, very good. And let’s turn it around. I think we’re here. Oo, look at that. boy be on a toy. We could be play with a big boy like a beast on a toy like this. Clean up the plate and concentrate. Please study. Teach my brain how to be jack. More [Music] than a typical taking nontop blue hair in the air in the hotel pool swimming under you while the wife is in the room. I will be there soon. I can take a lot lot what you think. Not a typical on a triple slip. Look at me play with a big boy. Look at me on a toy. Look at me play with a big boy. Look at me on a toy. is the best in clean [Music] [Music] so I’m dripping. Finger finger. Drop it. Drop it. Drop it. [Music] [Music] Chicago. [Music] Are you in the mind? [Music] Like so sweet.

I think it’ll still get us there in what 2 and 1/2 hours? 2 and 1/2 hours from Osaka to Tokyo. Feel the speed. Yeah, you really do feel the speed. But it’s surprisingly very very smooth. I will be going to take a nap and see you in Tokyo. Bye.

Join us on an unforgettable 3 nights in Osaka, Japan. The city of vibrant lights, mouthwatering street food, and endless energy. We dive deep into the heart of Osaka, indulging in sizzling takoyaki, fresh sushi straight from the counter, and exploring the best vintage shops Japan is famous for. We also experience Osaka’s bustling and respectful nightlife, filled with warmth and character.

Of course, no trip would be complete without a visit to Universal Studios Japan, where we relived our childhood dreams at Super Nintendo World — from Mario Kart rides to colorful Mushroom Kingdom snacks! Between shopping sprees, delicious bites, and nostalgic moments, Osaka completely stole our hearts.

Come explore this exciting city with us and see why Osaka should be at the top of your Japan itinerary.

  1. What a dream vacation this is!!! I am loving these vlogs! ❤. The bag porn was even better than the food porn! 😮. One thing that strikes me is how busy everything is at any given hour. I always thought Osaka was a little more laid back than Tokyo but was I wrong! Love the toad hat, I knew you would choose that one as soon as you put it on! So cute!

  2. Wow what a fun place with of course yummy food and handbag heaven! Super Nintendo World was awesome to see! loved that you both got into character 😊Another amazing vlog! 🎉

  3. I’d be overwhelmed there! So much to see. Did you find a bag? I’d want them all 😂 We just had Nintendo land open here but I haven’t been yet

  4. The vintage bag shopping looks amazing and that sushi is making me hungry! 😍 I had no idea there was such a thing as Super Nintendo World 😁 but it seems like such a fun experience! When else can you wear a Toad hat? 😂

  5. I love Osaka, my sister used to live there and I still have some vintage pieces I purchased there 25 years ago. Very cool hotel room. Loved the shopping vlog.

  6. Ooh Japan so jealous, I wanna go back there! 🥰🥰 oh my God love all the bags I’m seeing now! Happy heart ❤️ everything is eye candy! Congrats to your new onitsuka👟 Universal Studio is a different vibe in Japan 🇯🇵 everything is amazing! Guess you guys had a blast 👍🥰

  7. Hey TGP, so happy to have found your channel and I enjoyed watching your videos very much. It's fun to watch you enjoying your trip, shopping, and eating. Hope you get a lot more subscribers and see your channel grow. Looking forward to your next video.

  8. Japan is literally the best vacation ever. One of my favorite places I have ever been. Nara park is such a fun place. I can't wait to go back especially because I was not into fashion / bags the last time I was there :-D. When I describe Japan to other people I tell them it is the closest thing to visiting a parallel universe.

  9. Holy wow! All the bags! I would be delighted to see all of those in one spot (or 20 as you noted you went to!). Just the shopping in general, heck yes!

    I love your partner's elephant shirt. 🐘 🐘

    Then the food… I love food! 😅 Food and shopping – is there anything else? 😅
