Already the 3rd video in this festive December series vlog 🥰 Which spot would you wanna visit? Man...I love Osaka so much, everyone is soooo friendly & such good food always 🫶
@@eliasatalah86I love all of Japan but Osaka just feels like home. I love where we stay and I’ve got to know the locals in that area. Being welcomed back every time we return is special. Osaka’s sense of humour is next level
There was a Q&A video a while back where someone asked Sarah how she's able to be so positive all the time. I don't 100% remember her answer but it was something along the lines of she just made the choice to, and after a while she was able to pull herself out of the dark headspace she was in because of that choice. I found that so inspiring. The cafes and sights are awesome, but I get so hype for her energy. It's like a warm cup of hojicha on a cold day
For dry weather, I recommend using a saline nasal spray. I was using that in the desert. And when it’s winter in the desert, it is 50 times worse. And I’ll work on that nose beanie❤
These midosuji purple/blue light decorations are truly splendid! Thank you for showing them to us! 🤩🎄✨ But if you want to taste a really good brezel, you might want to come for a visit here in Munich! 🥨🍺🇩🇪
After trying several popular Ramen shops in Tokyo, Kyoto, Sapporo, Osaka and recently Fukuoka....my favorite is still Yashichi in Osaka cos you can add on charred grilled chicken which infuses smokiness into the rich broth
Osaka! The place I left my heart.. I was just back for a few weeks this past summer, but now I'm in the States again feeling nostalgic. I've never been to the Midosuji illumination. I wonder if that's new, or if I just didn't know about it when I lived in the area. Probably the latter. I used to go to the Kobe Luminarie every year. I'll have to explore Shinsekai more next time I have a chance to travel back to Osaka. That kushikatsu shop looks so nice! I think tonkotsu shops are also know for their unlimited cabbage. I love that. When in Umeda, I love to go to Hanadako for my takoyaki fix. It's in the Shin-Umeda Shokudogai under Hankyu Umeda station, near the crosswalk that connects to JR Osaka station. Hanadako has been there for many decades, I think since the Shin-Umeda Shokudogai opened in the 1950's. Highly recommend if you get a chance to check it out.
Merry Christmas Sarah! I appreciate all the videos you are making about Japan as I want to go there one day and hope 2025 will be even a better year for you 🎄
A nose beanie! How adorable. My brother learned crochet at school when he was 7, and made nose beanie that he gifted for Christmas to my mom. lol. It was at the Grundschule.
Your vlogs are getting better and better! Excited for your upcoming vid on Universal Studios so I can see how it compares with the parks in Orlando and Hollywood 🙂🎄
Christmas drops hard in Japan. We arrived in the 28th of November and no decorations. By the time we were up walking around Chiba on 12/1 there were decorations everywhere. We loved Osaka!!! But were bummed out the Donkey Kong land wasn’t open to the general public went to USJ on 12/3. That Christmas tree at USJ was very impressive. can’t wait for your video about your trip to USJ.
Yesss! I went to a Naruto Taiyaki Honpo when I was in Tokyo in October (near Daimon station). The custard one was super sweet but so hot and crispy and comforting.
What fun activities, thanks for taking us around Osaka 😊I'm in Québec City which is a very Christmas-y place LOL. Not doing Vlogmas this year but I did in 2022 so I have a ton on my channel. I am doing a weekly Christmas-themed video for December though. I am making notes for the kushikatsu place in Osaka for when I visit Japan in a few years (I wan tto go to the good tasting one lol) and I would totally love doing the illuminations and Christmas plate place 🎄
Seerasan, I'm Japanese who lives in Sydney for more than 10 years. I'm from Osaka where super friendly people and 90% of awesome Japanese food are from. hahaha I've been watching your videos and they made me miss Japan so much! Thank you for loving my home country Japan!
I'm impressed you can get stollen in Japan! It's my favourite winter thing, definitely prefer it to British style fruitcake. Also, all those lights are super pretty, I'm not much for celebrating this time of year but that would definitely lift my mood. Thank you for sharing 😊
exquisite car at 4:02, that orange bath bomb is quite interesting! I got to say out of all the vege, cabbage is one I love, I can eat my weight in cabbage at this point
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks a lot! Nasic offers a "nose balm" (Pflegestift für die Nase). ). I don't know if you can get something similar in Japan.
Places with very interesting Christmas decorations! I haven't been to Nanba for a long time 🤔 The lighting is beautiful too, I need to go. Seerasan, I'm here, I'm your love 😂 Nice trip in Osaka 👍🏻
Hallo Sarah, wir (ein 50+ couple) lieben deine Videos und schauen sie schon ne ganze Weile. Du wirst immer besser und nächstes Jahr wollen wir endlich nach Japan reisen, auch weil du es uns so schmackhaft gemacht hast. Viele herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland. Frohe Weihnachten und ein gesundes und erfolgreiches 2025. 👋🎋
That Christmas plate was very pretty. I'm very surprised to see just how festive the city is for the holiday season! Are you spending Christmas back in Australia or in Tokyo? Regardless, have a very happy Christmas and New Year! May nice surprises await you this holiday season and in the New Year!!
Hi how are you going? Almost every weekend I come to Umeda,Osaka,Japan. Hankyu department store in Umeda,Osaka,Japan holds Christmas events so on on the 9th floor of it every year. My Japanese mate and I saw the Christmas light's ceremony in Midosuji street on the 3rd of November,2024 and we walked back for Umeda,Osaka,Japan. so great that ye have been on the Umeda shimichi pedestrian bridge where Judas priest's vocalist Mr Rob Halford took some pictures of Christmas light or illuminations from the bridge whilst he stayed in Osaka,Japan. :) Actually I walked on the bridge last Saturday as I walked home from other Christmas event called Osaka Hikari Renaissance held from the 14th of December to Christmas including Projection mapping on Osaka city central public hall in Nakanoshima park,Osaka,Japan every year. I was born in Osaka prefecture so I am so pleased to hear You love Osaka. cheers
Osaka probably has the wisest mayor/governor! They are totally doing what Shibuya in Tokyo is banning/avoiding! Osaka is the place to be for foreign Festivities like Halloween or Christmas, Osaka likes to PARTY! Support Osaka!
That was the best-looking pizza I've seen Japan come out with and quite some time. usually the pizza I see coming out of Japan looks like it came out of a microwave.
Osaka does Christmas right. I was in Ueno on Christmas day last year and the most festive thing I saw were the KFC delivery drivers on their mopeds wearing Santa hats.
Sarah needs a big red clown nose for her cold nose 😄 I went to Umeda Sky Building when I was in Osaka in Dec last year. Such a funky looking building. Got some breathtaking views of the Osaka night 💜
There was something about Osaka Station that really threw me off in a way it's hard to articulate. Like... It was facing the wrong direction. It felt like this one entrance should have been on the West side, but it wasn't? So using it as a landmark when getting around the city was a fool's errand and it caught me offguard all the gorramn time.
Already the 3rd video in this festive December series vlog 🥰 Which spot would you wanna visit?
Man...I love Osaka so much, everyone is soooo friendly & such good food always 🫶
On my flight to Tokyo watching this. Now considering going to Osaka. LOL.
Osaka is my 1st choice of anywhere in Japan. I visit twice a year and sometimes that is not enough ♥️
@@froglady4360 I really liked Kyoto more than Osaka other than food. LOL
@@eliasatalah86I love all of Japan but Osaka just feels like home. I love where we stay and I’ve got to know the locals in that area. Being welcomed back every time we return is special. Osaka’s sense of humour is next level

That was my question lol. The positive energy from her vids is so infectious!
@NoFace89-z6z Thank you for asking her then! I don't get down in the dumps often but when I do I actually think about her response the most
a glass half fun kinda spirit
Osaka is My Favorite place in Japan, it's perfectly located to travel around All of Japan and there are so many things to do in and around Osaka
The Christmas vibes in Japan are so magical. I love how they celebrate.
Thanks for all the content! Always feel uplifted by the content and inspired for my next Japan visit. Wishing you a great Christmas!!! 🎄🎅🏼🎁
Aw, that’s very kind of you! Thank you very much ☺️🎄✨

I’m loving these Christmas videos - so fun to see how Japan celebrates.
Yay I’m having fun making them too 😌🎄

You are the first person to show pizza & l watch a lot of videos on Japan trips thanks
Japan has some of the best pizza, even Italian style! Will have to keep showcasing it - didn’t think people would be interested 😆
@@seerasanPizza is life😅
A nose beanie! How adorable. My brother learned crochet at school when he was 7, and made nose beanie that he gifted for Christmas to my mom. lol. It was at the Grundschule.
OSAKA is the best! The best people and the best food. BIG shout out to my boys in kishiwada!
Wow Sara is on a roll. Keep it on! 🎄
Osaka blows Tokyo Christmas Market away. Spectacular vlog, can’t wait to see more on this trip.
Love it!! Solo outings can be the best thing ever and you’re living!!! More please
Love Osaka's blue and purple lights. Seems like a chill, fun place to celebrate ... someday maybe. Thanks
Oh girl, you are really makes my December feel different. Ahahha. Can't wait for your another vlog. Keep healthy Sarah. 🎉
Kinda funny that the ad for the osaka Christmas market uses the Christmas market of Bremen which is where I live
Your vlogs are getting better and better! Excited for your upcoming vid on Universal Studios so I can see how it compares with the parks in Orlando and Hollywood 🙂🎄

Yay enjoy Osaka!! It’s an incredible city 😆

Yesss! I went to a Naruto Taiyaki Honpo when I was in Tokyo in October (near Daimon station). The custard one was super sweet but so hot and crispy and comforting.
You’ve been spoiling us with the amount of videos, thanks! Happy holidays!
Great job as usual. Happy Holidays!
Japan looks so nice during Christmas. Thank you for your videos. I hope to visit Japan some day.
Currently visiting Japan and about to move on from Matsumoto to Kobe tomorrow, so this video comes at the perfect time, thx :)
Great video! Thanks for sharing. All the lights looked beautiful. Would love to see it in person.
Thank you beautiful lady for this video. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family!!!!!!!!
What a nice festive Osaka! Also the video quality at night is soooo good! Are you using the DJI pocket?
I love these videos so much. Keep it up!
Awesome, I hear any dairy from Hokkaido is amazing 😁

Snow in Tokyo 😂
I'm impressed you can get stollen in Japan! It's my favourite winter thing, definitely prefer it to British style fruitcake. Also, all those lights are super pretty, I'm not much for celebrating this time of year but that would definitely lift my mood. Thank you for sharing 😊
I’ve been seeing stollen for sale everywhere this year - supermarkets, bakeries and even as snack flavours for cookies!
exquisite car at 4:02, that orange bath bomb is quite interesting! I got to say out of all the vege, cabbage is one I love, I can eat my weight in cabbage at this point
Where did you get those mittens?? They look perfect! Also, thank you for taking us on your Osaka trip! It looked like a really good time :)
OMG great video Seerasan love Osaka you are so cute happy holidays
I'm from Osaka, thank you for introducing me to Osaka.
It was a nice introduction.
あ、新世界の串カツ店での注文で解りました日本語堪能なんですね！

Happy holidays!

Loving your eye make up, those ocean eyes ❤
Not sure if it’s helpful, but you could always wear a mask I suppose, it helped me during covid winters
I went to that taiyaki shop when I was in Osaka in December 2023! It was great to see it again!
It’s so tasty right 😋
have a great Christmas :)
Places with very interesting Christmas decorations!
I haven't been to Nanba for a long time 🤔 The lighting is beautiful too, I need to go.
Seerasan, I'm here, I'm your love 😂
Nice trip in Osaka 👍🏻

Wish I could see these Christmas lights in real life so so pretty 😍
Will you do a similar New Year's time in Tokyo video?
Love You seerasan ❤
I miss Henry’s pizza. That will be my first stop when l get back to Osaka
Luv the look of the cakes and dessert alas they aren't vegetarian so i couldn't have the yummys 😢 luv japan in winter
If you don't upload a video beforehand i hope you have a great xmas + new year Sarah 😀
There will be more coming before the end of the year!! 🤭✨
@@seerasan Cool. I still hope you have a great holiday time anyway 😄

Osaka probably has the wisest mayor/governor! They are totally doing what Shibuya in Tokyo is banning/avoiding! Osaka is the place to be for foreign Festivities like Halloween or Christmas, Osaka likes to PARTY! Support Osaka!

Another fun video. Wish I was there. TFS

If it wasnt for videos like this i would forget it's the holiday season
Osaka does Christmas right. I was in Ueno on Christmas day last year and the most festive thing I saw were the KFC delivery drivers on their mopeds wearing Santa hats.
What a sight to see 😂🧑🎄🍗
I enjoyed your German podcast. “Ich liebe deutsches Brot!” “Ich liebe Glühwein!”
For pizza in Osaka, strongly recommend La Pizza Napoletana Regalo in Fukushima! I still get lost in Osaka Station/Umeda so don't worry :)
I definitely got lost in Osaka station, trying to find my way out for hours. It might be worse than Shibuya lol
I wanna see those lights
A tip for your nose, put some clear unscented lip balm on it, just rub it in and it should help ! That's what i do in winter :)
Sarah needs a big red clown nose for her cold nose 😄
I went to Umeda Sky Building when I was in Osaka in Dec last year. Such a funky looking building. Got some breathtaking views of the Osaka night 💜
Merry Christmas Deutsche Sheila !
My fave kushikatsu place in Tokyo is called Kushizaru in Nezu, close to the Nezu Shrine on the main street. Check it out.
Tokyo charges admission for Christmas markets?? Makes you want to say なんでやねん！

Anyone else think of Hey Duggee when they saw the dog biscuit? Just me then?
nice video
Umeda station and the surrounding area is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO confusing. Its also confusing walking the streets to get to anywhere near there!
The cabbage is used to pour the sauce on the Kushikatsu because it’s bad manners to double dip
ソースを小皿に入れるようになったので、二度付けのマナー違反は何ら問題とはならないよ。
