Reality of Tourist Trap Pricing in Osaka, Famous Tourist Spot vs. Local’s Favorites Ep.569

What do you think of Kizu market?

Hi Rion, I have been to the Expo 3 times and last day today, I will visit Dotonburi☺️

Will you visit Hikone soon since you are in Osaka?? I want to see the local atmosphere

Thank you. I'm interested in lokalen areas more than overcrowded tourist-spots. I will Japan in September for the first time 😊

When I was in Osaka back in 2014, arriving at the Osaka Station with so many exits I was so lost that I need to stand at the side and figure it out. Until an elderly Japanese man walked pass me and with my so confused look, he immediately stop and asked if he can help. With the language barrier, he managed to guide me to the exit I need to go. So grateful to the Uncle for his kindness.

I know the detective Conan music 👍🏻 From Germany 🇩🇪

I see the changes and thanks for the hidden gems. Still my favourite city in Japan!

💖💖💖

Let's keep walking 🚶‍♀️
Gaooo!! ❤❤❤

I'll be in Osaka / Nagoya / Wakayam in ~13 days your videos / livestreams are so precious, well documented and convenient ! よくできました

Nice meeting you, Rion! I'm the one in the video!

Thank you. Pls include a tour of Osaka and Namba stations.

Rion, how about going to Nagano? I hope you can make a vlog there. I heard there are many beautiful places there.

Great job showing us the local areas ! We got anxiety just by viewing the tourist spots!
Sailor Moon 🌙 we remember well :)

Thanks

How accessible are train/ subway stations in Tokyo? Are there escalators and elevator in all stations? I'm asking that cause I'm planning to travel to Japan and my wife has a disability. Thank you!

沢山の日本人観光客が裏なんばがいったいどこなのかが分からないというコメントを昔沢山見た事があるので、今日分かってスッキリしました😂玉子せんべい？もあるのですね、食べてみたいです🍳、松屋さんのうどんが安すぎて、びっくりしまた😳ローカルの方々が行くお店はめちゃくちゃ安いですね、刺身🍣3円って、なんの為⁈って思いました🤣さすが大阪ですね、やる事がダイナミック👍天神橋商店街の長さに本当に驚きました😳そして安すぎるのもすごく謎です🤣いつか行ってみたいです！ありがとうございました😊

I'll have to check out tenjinbashi Arcade 2.6km I haven't been there yet will do in 3 weeks after the expo Rion!!!
Nice Renovation of Osaka station👍

Hi rion! Will the Matsuri festival food stalls still be there around December? Ill be visiting around that time i want to try local food stalls 😊

Thank you Rion🎉❤

great video!

Thank you, so many memories about Osaka ❤❤❤

Rion, awesome video updates! I'm coming soon!

Thank you for sharing. Your English is getting better and better. Wish I was smart enough to learn Japanese.

Osaka Station square 💚 As someone who has had her own share of sweet & sour memories, I also can’t say many things I had thought went according to plan, but when I look back, I could say life is beautiful, and I look forward to the surprises that could turn out better than anything I could imagine ✨ Let’s keep walking 🌱 P.S. DBZ, Sailor Moon, Doraemon 🎶

Just came back from Osaka 2 weeks ago. First time back in Japan as an adult. Love the convenience stores.
Took train/subway to Kyoto. It was like 4 or 5 transfers. Wasn't feeling well so after an hr, took a $150 USD cab ride back to the hotel in Osaka.

Greeting card? Gaaaoooo from Canada.

Thanks for the video

Thanks for the walking tour. I enjoy watching all your videos and I will be visiting Osaka after the golden week and other places in Japan. Cheers 🍺

What an interesting video comparing most popular touristic spots and the local ones. The architecture of the Namba back streets is also special. So many alleys in Osaka everywhere are inviting, but you must be a local to navigate them. So many festivals everywhere during the Golden Week
with vibrant atmosphere. Osaka is changing every time you come back. I do not think it is only because of Expo 25, but it is a general trand as in Tokyo. Another charming video with rich content. Well done, dear Rion. Till next one matane & GAAOO...

Many thanks Rion san for the updates in Osaka. Looking forward to visit Osaka again on our next trip.❤

Thank you Rion! Let’s gaooooooo 🦁

Rion, i really want to see you try more foods! Maybe also your personal favourite🎉

I was in Osaka previously to attend SUMMER SONIC 2023 and I wasn't able to go around much because I was focused in finding the Evisu and Momotaro jeans stores. I took the Osaka Bay cruise aboard the Santa Maria, went to Osaka Aquarium, had dinner at Hai Di Lao too. I'd be back soon, so thank you for listing these places!

Rion I knew only one song....Doraemon song.....

I’m am so glad you went to tenjimbashi. We loved that arcade. So many cute stores and great deals

I feel like most tourists never check that narrow alley on the way to the small temple.

Thank you Rion for all your videos. I love having new videos to watch, but even the old videos are comforting to watch and hearing your voice in the background while I go about my day is the highlight of every day. ありガオ～とう！

those jerks with the tourist traps thanks for the advice gaoooo

Rion. I am currently riding to Osaka and your videos are my best tour guide. Thank you for all the information you share and for your happiness and smile...🎉

lol i love maze, was there 3/17 when it was closed..nice to see it open

Loved this Golden Week walk through Osaka. I'm glad to see so many people enjoying the holiday on this beautiful spring day. Arigatougozaimasu, Rion, for brightening my week with your video. Let's keep walking! 🚶🏻‍♂

Can I get some information on your tour guide

Hi Rion.Were you able to show off the new basement food hall called Time Out Osaka? Most of the luxury food court seems to be US prices for local Japanese food. I think there are at least 20 plus vendors there. It's at Umekita shopping center.

Thanks ❤❤😊 love your video's 😊

🤗💙

RION, good morning from HONG KONG 🇭🇰 SAR. The ‘Golden Week’ is technically over, but because the US dollars had weakened the HONG KONG 🇭🇰 Dollar, so the HKSAR 🇭🇰Government is pushing and increasing tourism from all over the world as well as to attract global talents.
