@seerasan trying the suspicious gatcha. Local Japanese people be like: yabai na…..majide…. Hahahaha kidding aside though those really look very sketchy
Yes we have certainly been to Den Den Town. I’ve spent a few hours in Super Potato, there is also a really great second hand CD store too if you are into that sort of thing. maps.app.goo.gl/9fg18k5TifKALhXQ6?g_st=ic Cafe Moto is great to sit and watch the Herons fish. Keep up the good work! 👍
@seerasan I tried those Sus Gatcha on my last trip for a youtube video. There is nothing too bad from what I got. Out of the 5 Gatcha that I bought there was one pair of underwear but they were brand new/unused and the rest were small sex toys like mini Tenga etc. I expected it to be much worse. Also, on your next visit, I recommend Namba Yasaka-jinja, it's a shrine shaped like the head of a lion.
Would love to have a beach trip video, somewhere other than Okinawa. Maybe you know a cool hidden beach spot to throw on the bikini and take us along as our BEST AUSSIE TOUR GUIDE! 🙌🏻
You're my fave channel about Japan right now. Used to be Sharla and Emma but their posting is kind of erratic so thank you for posting consistently! Pls continue what you're doing, you're gonna get big!
Same here, I know Emma still streams a lot but I don't really watch too many streams. I just prefer the edited down 10-30 minute videos on TH-cam instead
Yes!! I was excited to try it because of the history.. to my surprise it’s a really challenging card game to learn because of all the different rules & sets 😂 may take quite a few rounds till I become a bit confident haha
I was in Osaka last year, but after visiting Tsutenkaku and Shinsekai, I walked past Den Den Town to return to my hotel in Dotonbori. Now I wish I had stayed a little longer.
The area near Hozenji Temple almost makes me want to go back to Osaka! (We were very disappointed by the city) Thanks for showing us this other side of Osaka.
This is one of my favourite cities! Thanks for visiting and you gave me ideas to check out in my next trip to Osaka!! It’s fabulous to get new ideas! One of the things I live about massive cities is the things to learn about and find to do seem endless!! Cheers!!
Osaka is my favorite city in Japan, even more than Tokyo. It is not too big or crowded but still offers diversity and excitement; it is more affordable and with friendlier locals than Tokyo.
Really gave me flashbacks from my trip in October when i explored more of Osaka, been to pretty much every place you showed of (besides the resturants) Tourists really do shy away from the side streets of Dotonbouri street, you do find them again once you go closer to Namba again. So many hiden spots ^^
When My Aussie mate and his own family from Brisbane stayed in Osaka, December 2022, He and I walked through 道具屋筋 Doguyasuji street and encountered the alien too lol and also entered Super Potato in Ota road,Den den tow,Osaka as well. cheers
i really enjoy these types of vlogs! you should also check out america-mura in osaka if you havent before. also, the area near tennoji park with abeno harukas. maybe they're not lowkey but they're definitively not nearly as popular as namba/dotonbori/shinsekai
Retro-imitative of a style, fashion, or design from the recent past. Vintage is the word you are looking for if you talking about something that is 20 years or older just a psa 😂 much love your content is amazing ❤
Stoked to hear an Aussie’s perspective!! Mrs and I are from Mid North Coast in NSW and heading to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Okinawa and Fukuoka last week in March. Thanks for the awesome video!!😊
Love Osaka! There is a cool shopping arcade I would walk down through that leads to Shinsekai, starting from the Doubutsuenmae Station; if you ever get a chance to explore it, it’s really fun! There’s an old Go/Shogi playing house there that I was always mesmerized whenever I would walk by it, but never had the courage to enter 🥲 Speaking of courage…. I never did those ‘ero’ gatcha either 🤣 though they did peak my curiosity
Watching all your videos really makes me want to come there. I want to eventually come and go to one of the Japanese language schools but have to save up for a bit. Can’t wait to see all this in person 😊
Nintendo actually started as a Hanafuda card manufacturing company!!! I love playing Koi Koi. There's a bit of a learning curve having to memorize the months/seasons/"suits" of the cards, but once you have that and the point system down it's a lot of fun as a chill 1v1 game.
I want to move to Japan so bad. At least for a while. Last year I visited Toyko and Kyoto for the first time and I didn’t want to leave. I plan go come back this year
i just got back from my first trip to japan and i was in osaka for 4 days! denden town was my favorite as well as all of the tiny snacks (snack bars? im not sure how to say it in english lmao) in amerikamura watching and feeling nostalgic even though i was there 2 weeks ago
I definitely made use of a few of your videos for my trip to Japan last year. Having been a few months all I want to do it go back and visit everything I missed out on the first time!
Doguyasuji is one of the best places to shop for souvenirs. I grew up in that area and used to have a part time job at Hard Rock Cafe Osaka by Osaka Stadium (IYKYK)... Have you tried American Village? Just down the street from Nanba.
Ich hab vor einigen Tagen bereits gemerkt, dass Sarah viel offener geworden ist. Jetzt blonde Haare und Videos mit neuen Typen - da ist ganz klar ein neuer Freund im Spiel
Ah, Den-Den Town! You're in my old stomping grounds now, Sarah! I lived in a suburb just north of Osaka and probably went into the electronics district about once a month. I loved shopping for old electronics and had a whole circuit of shops I would go through. I stuck mostly to electronics, and some of the hobby shops were pretty cool for plastic models and such. I did venture into the more sukebe video shops occasionally, too, I'll admit. I can't blame you for not getting something from the capsule machines. They did seem rather sketchy. I never tried the maid cafes. Wasn't really interested, though I suppose I could try it once for the experience. I don't think I tried any of the restaurants there, come to think of it. There were some restaurants between Namba station and Nipponbashi I occasionally ate at, though. And I remember there was this little Belgian waffle stand in the station shopping area that I loved. I forget the name of it, but I think it was a chain. Those waffles were awesome! I hope it's still there. I loved the Nipponbashi Shotengai and I did buy some kitchen knives from that kitchen street, which I still have, but I never ventured far enough away to discover Hozenji and I'm really regretting that. It looks like a beautiful part of town. I hope I get a chance to visit it someday. Japan's gotten much better about vegetarian and vegan options than when I was living there, I have to say. I moved to Japan as a vegetarian, but soon gave up. I have to say that the meat quality, and food in general, is so much better in Japan than anywhere else I've been that I was fine switching back to the omnivore lifestyle, and haven't flipped back since. If you come to Osaka during cherry blossom season, I recommend Zouheikyoku (the Osaka Mint). Also, sumo comes to Namba in March, so you could do both in one trip. I'd love to see a vlog about that, though I know you've done one for sumo in Tokyo.
Den Den Town is definitely more chill than Akihabara. Typically goods are a tiny bit cheaper. I definitely found older yugioh cards that the tokyo stores didn't have as much of.
Nah, no need to go back to the used panty gatcha 😂 Osaka was lovely when I visited, the people are so unbelievably friendly there. Will definitely be going back.
I only been to Osaka once and I found den den town on accident lol I was looking for a anime figure store it was nice and super cheap compared to anywhere else
I love your vlog so much, have been literally making notes to plan out iternary, we come in October! One thing I keep getting confused about is there are so many similar places to shop at as you have shown in the video, in Tokyo and in Osaka, how do you decide where to actually spend the time and money to make actual purchases? Is one better than the other in terms of say price, options, etc? Eg I've heard advices to go to Osaka's mega don quijote instead of tokyo one, how do you decide though!
That Mario Themed Card game you saw . . . . Nintendo originally started out making those Hanafuda card games back in the 19th century . . . . . which they still make. It is just like how Toyota didn't start out as a car manufacturer (go check out the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology in Nagoya).
Denden Town has loads of places that are unashamed tourist ripoffs... sketchy maid cafes and overpriced merch... except for the huge Suruga-ya, Jungle, and other chains, you can't really shop with confidence. Nice for sightseeing, though. Osaka also probably has the BEST Mandarake, but it's in Umeda - it has a freaking Karaoke stage! And people actually sing there. What I want to visit in Osaka is the Expo Commemoration Park, which houses the tourist trappy-looking _Tower of the Sun_ - haven't made it there yet, though. My true goal is visiting Osaka again without burning my tastebuds with Takoyaki on the first day for once, though.
Tokyo and Osaka are different in every way, including the nature of their inhabitants.😄Osaka is much more energetic and chaotic than Tokyo. Osakans don't like Tokyo people because they say they are pretentious, and they say that Tokyo is a cold city and Osaka is a warm and humane city. On the other hand, Tokyo people despise Osakans as vulgar and loud.😂
Just got back from Osaka after a ten day visit to see our daughter who lives there. Honestly was not impressed whatsoever, kept going to Kyoto to get the traditional Japanese feel. Osaka was just another cheesy big city
Wait... you've been to Osaka 10 times and never been to DenDen Town.. passed through Kitchen street or Nanba??? lol what??? I find this extremely, extremely hard to believe.
Осака - самое большое разочарование для меня в Японии. На втором месте Киото, а потом Сендай. Осака грязная, куча велосипедистов после 17 часов намеревающихся тебя сбить, высокие цены на мелочи, плохая планировка маршрутов поездов и метро, что заставляет терять много времени. Одним словом - город разочарование, один раз стоит посетить не более.
Happy Friday! 🎉 Have you been to any of these spots before? Was I the only one who missed out?! Let me know your recommendations for my next trip! 😎
@seerasan trying the suspicious gatcha. Local Japanese people be like: yabai na…..majide…. Hahahaha kidding aside though those really look very sketchy

Great thing about Osaka you can take day trips to Kyoto, Kobe & Nara … less than an hour train
That Buddha bowl looked amazing! Will def keep Optimus in mind!
Also, side note but your hair suits you soooo good 💫
Highly, highly recommend it! Forgot to mention in the video, but it's English friendly too :)
Thank youu!!!! 🫶🩷
regarding hanafuda, nintendo as a company got their start doing those cards in the late 1800s
Yes!! I was excited to try it because of the history.. to my surprise it’s a really challenging card game to learn because of all the different rules & sets 😂 may take quite a few rounds till I become a bit confident haha
Going to Japan next year. Can't wait to explore these places. More, please. 😁
I'll be visiting Japan next month and I'm very tempted to make a stop to Osaka now! Thanks~
For first timer, its best to do the golden route tokyo - kyoto - osaka - hiroshima. Enjoy!
Osaka will always be in my heart! 関西gang!
I was in Osaka last year, but after visiting Tsutenkaku and Shinsekai, I walked past Den Den Town to return to my hotel in Dotonbori. Now I wish I had stayed a little longer.
amazing 🇯🇵 ❤
The area near Hozenji Temple almost makes me want to go back to Osaka! (We were very disappointed by the city)
Thanks for showing us this other side of Osaka.
Why were you disappointed? It’s the nightlife and food capital of the country right?? And aren’t the people supposed to be super friendly?
I’m saving this video for my next trip to Osaka, especially the eating place at the river view 😍 Great video, thx
It's amazing that you know and find such chill and calm places in such a wild and naughty city as Osaka! Really enjoying this new format of yours
Glad you like it! 🩷 It's my hobby & passion discovering areas when travelling, so constantly on the hunt for cool spots 👀
You are such a fun and likable guide 💛 I think you and Emma should DEFINITELY go back and hit those risque gacha machines
Great video!
I’ve been to Optimus Cafe before and love the Kitahama area 😀
As a Japanese person who lives in Osaka for over 30 years, you definitely went to the right places.
Hozenji yokocho and Kitahama area etc.
Ive been planning a trip to osaka, fukuoka and tokyo later this year and this was pretty insightful. Loved seeing the coffee shops and places to eat!!
This is one of my favourite cities! Thanks for visiting and you gave me ideas to check out in my next trip to Osaka!! It’s fabulous to get new ideas! One of the things I live about massive cities is the things to learn about and find to do seem endless!! Cheers!!
Osaka is my favorite city in Japan, even more than Tokyo. It is not too big or crowded but still offers diversity and excitement; it is more affordable and with friendlier locals than Tokyo.
Optimus Cafe was a great call. So good. Will definitely visit next time I’m in Osaka.
The back street always seek bettwr in Japan!! Loving the hair btw!!
I added a few more stop to my trip. Thanks for the video
Very high production values in your new videos. You look better than ever!
Thank you for a wonderful introduction to Osaka

I like how you try to eat healthy 😊🌱
Thank you 😊 When the cameras not rolling I eat pretty clean!
The camerawoman def deserves a raise 💴
Thank you hehe 💁♀️
Thank you for showing den den town some luv, it was my introduction to japanese elecronics back in the eighties
that pancake looked excellent.
Was delicious 🥞😋
Thank you so much for this video Sarah. I've added it to my Wishlist 🐱. It's so nice to see a quieter side of Osaka ❤🫶
Hope you can visit & enjoy this relaxed side to Osaka 🫶
@@seerasan I'm planning to solo visit in mid November 😁
Happy Friday to you as well.
Your videos are such a vibe. Keep up the vlogs!
This makes me more excited to explore Osaka for the first time soon. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Damn she pretty as ngl 😂 came for the japan content stayed for beauty
The AI treatment to the audio feels super weird.
Path of raidance....Baten kaitos orgins....and the pokemon cube games ; 3; i would of swiped those instantly xD
If I can't speak Japanese will things like ordering food or stuff like that be a problem?
what your camera gear your using.
Yes please please go back and get some ero gatcha. And it sounds like you upgraded the audio? Almost sounds like you're wearing a mic. Very clear.
curious. Did you film this whole thing yourself?
Yes I did!
Just got back from Osaka after a ten day visit to see our daughter who lives there. Honestly was not impressed whatsoever, kept going to Kyoto to get the traditional Japanese feel. Osaka was just another cheesy big city
Discover a new side to Osaka by meeting and talking to locals who like speaking English and meeting foreigners. Join a meetup event!
I Love you 😘💗
cards? Do you mean like Pokemon cards
Wait... you've been to Osaka 10 times and never been to DenDen Town.. passed through Kitchen street or Nanba??? lol what??? I find this extremely, extremely hard to believe.
I’ve been to Nanba several times just not the other 2 you mentioned - denden/kitchen street :)
