2 Days in Osaka and Kobe With My Parents | 10 Days On Japan’s Golden Route For First Timers Vlog

I travel with my parents, bringing them to Japan for the first time. For our first two days of the trip, we’re starting off with two nights in Osaka with a side quest to Kobe as part of that as well.

This is Part 1 of TBD from our 10 day Japan itinerary that follows my modified version of the Golden Route.

We’re trying out a new thing with these videos! It feels like we haven’t really done any vlog-style content since our https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSauNrcHS9SCLc_u_6qDrR-nR_coZJ9oD and our https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSauNrcHS9SAtRpF5VQp3x9VNg0yiJ1gh (remember those??)

We’d love your feedback! These are meant to be more of a lo-fi casual watch for those that appreciate long-form vids and want to see more of the atmosphere and vibe of the place and things that we do. What did you like/dislike? What would you like to see?
