Ahhhh I'm so excited to share this one with you!!! I REALLY LOVE OSAKA 💖 Which neighbourhood should I explore next time, & which one was your favourite?!
What an absolutely wonderful and spontaneous video! Absolutely loved it! Love the haircut to! Could see your conflicting thoughts but glad you did it!
I'm osakagoers too, but i never heard about Tenma it's good to know thanks to you! My favorite neighborhood is probably Fukushima and Ikuno bcuz of the the foods lol
I would love to visit Japan one day ….thank you for bringing it to me 😊❤
Love your video from Osaka, so much to look at and so good atmosphere and character and very unique. I love all the cafes and eateries you went to, I really love unique cafes and coffees. I have not been to Japan yet, but our first visit is coming up in April. Can't wait.
I love your new haircut, it's very classy! Couldn't believe how many hats you bought, the first one so cute.
You are really really good at making videos, they are always so much fun to watch. Greetings from a Danish born lady living in NZ.
Hi Sarah Great video osaka 💖💖💫💫🥰
Wow love this video so much! I'm a Japanese living in Tokyo who've never been these spots. Your video makes me realize I could travel around in my own country just a little bit more. I did visit Australia, and loved Coogee beach in Sydney btw!
Thank u soo much for this! I love to watch about places that are not tourist attractions. Just local's hearts.🥰
First video i've watched from you, I love your vibe and personality and I saw some new things I haven't seen in my years of watching Japan travel videos
I'd breathe fire after that wasabi sushi
I love Osaka!! Best people, best food, best vibes. I recognize the pizza place from Connor's cyclethon! It looks amazing! Thanks so much for showing us around! <3
Comment for the algorithm, but I loved the "Oops, all hats" shopping ❤ That Diesel jacket was awesome too, I'm too scared to ask how much it costs.
Lived in Higashi yodogawa-ku area for 5 years. Worked in Umeda. Love Osaka. Love your videos….
A bloke from the UK making NY style pizza in Osaka while being vlogged by an Aussie 😵💫
Your videos are stellar. Your style reminds me of classic Globe Trekker and classic travel channel (American network) shows. Amazing you film these by yourself. Top quality travel content. Your shows should be on network TV to be honest. Excellent!
I remember seeing that Hughes Pizza joint during the CdawgVA cyclethon and thinking that pizza looks fire! Glad to see it doing well.
Planning a trip in the fall and adding all of this to my Osaka itinerary! Thanks 🙏
Wonderful hair styling! What a travel video! I never would have expected a Koreantown in Japan since there is so much hatred between both countries. Thanks for the video!
Wo! That pizza place, I know cdawg, Chris broad and others went to go eat there for their cyclothon
Its a nice hat
I love your videos. I have been to Japan twice wish I could move there but stuck in Florida. Also nice haircut 😊
Nice places 😊
Really good video, I’d love to see more like this. I’ve seen too many videos that just talk about the main areas only and don’t really go further than that. Plus you’re travelling solo which is cool to see.
Kinda sad to see locals have to put up all of those awful signs on their own house, poor guys. Unfortunately, it’s can be hard to tell what’s in a building in Japan, especially if they all look similar.
Can’t say I’ve seen a cafe like that with disabled employees in Japan, very cool.
OK the hair came out really cute! Nicely done for such an impromptu move.
Love your presentation a lot, thank you always for introducing those unique neighborhoods and hidden gems all over Japan. One correction, You’ve said that you’re going to eat the Hayashi Rice Curry at the first nice cafe in Nakazakicho, but there is no such menu exists. Hayashi Rice and Japanese Curry Rice are both very Japanese and excellent food. Since they have similar look, it is confusing to many, but they are different dishes. Hayashi Rice is like a demi-glace-sauce flavored beef stew over rice, while Curry Rice involves many Indian spices and sometimes quite spicy. Hayashi Rice is not spicy hot at all, therefore kids love it, as I grew up liking it and still love it. As far as introducing this uniquely Japanese Hayashi Rice to English speaking foreigners, you may be the first one on YouTube.😘
The Korean town looks awesome! We stayed in Shin Okubo while in Tokyo, and it was absolutely awesome there – I'll certainly want to check out Tsuruhashi the next time I'm in Osaka!
Someone might have already asked this but, what camera(s) are you using?
I love your fleece! Who makes it?
Curious why people are still wearing masks in 2025
The pizza shop owner like 🎸 punk music I see 😉
How did you learn Japanese? I’d really like to learn it
I think just outside the exit of Tenma…there is a 1 yen sake (during the weekdays)…
beautiful places. Thank you!
福岡にも遊び来てください！
That pizza!!! 😋❤️
Yo this is one of the best Osaka tips I seen thanks I have made a list to add to my list lol. My dad lives in Osaka so when I come back I def checking these spots out 🙏
The vibe in Osaka is amazing it’s defo underrated
love that idea for the cafe! Silence is perfect for a cafe, too many cafes are too bloody loud lol
Its streets/areas like the ones here I like exploring while travelling. Tend to get a better idea/feel for a countries culture and people exploring them ❤
Seera, your new haircut looks great! From now on, every time your hair needs cutting, you will have to make a trip to Osaka and Snip (and give us a video to document it 😉).
I've been to Osaka a number of times, but stayed mainly around Shinsai-bashi. I'll have to branch out more in the future.
Like some of the other posters, I was getting a bit worried about you – you've conditioned us to expect a once-per-week upload, and when it doesn't appear, it is natural to wonder if everything is OK 😅.
So take care, and continue enjoying life in Japan!
When we visited Osaka in 2023, we lived in Fukushima and went to the same Izakaya as you! We loved it there! 😄
