  • Obon is a traditional Japanese event to welcome the sprits of ancestors, and usually people get a few days of vacation during the Obon period.
    Therefore, the town gets super crowded, so Obon (August 13th to August 16th week) is one of the worst time to visit Japan. It's like the Goldenweek (Early May)
    Compare to Goldenweek, Obon is in summer, so super hot and humid but there are long lines everywhere.
    In this video I tried to show you how crowded it is, and also how it looks like in Dotonbori food street, and Hozenji Yokocho in Namba, Osaka😉
    Of course if you like crowd, you can choose those days to travel Japan, but I recommend to choose other days though.
    Hope this can help your Osaka travel ^^

    I love how you can just turn a corner from the busiest area and end up in a peaceful side street

    When I come to Japan in aug 2013. It was on obon holiday. Every place is so crowded. A lot of traffic jam (we use bus as a tourists group). But we still enjoyed Japan in that super hot temperature . And definitely will come back again after this corona virus has vanished.

    I did notice that there’s hardly any bins/trash cans while I was visiting Japan. Even some combini don’t have a place to throw trash! 😱

    I'd definitely feel the same was I in your place!! I'm having a FOMO feeling right now (9 days of holiday and I'm not traveling 🥺)... Yet, a quick train trip to visit a friend that also lives in the countryside (plus multiple searches of flight tickets) made me very unlikely to leave home to either spend a lot of money on a flight or endure many hours of crowded local trains/stations to check equally crowded touristic attractions... I so wish I could work now and have a holiday week when everyone else is working 😆

    Hi Rion! May I ask you If they are going to put again the advertise next to Glicoman again? I've just realized in your video it is not anymore. i do not know from which company or product was it, but it was soo iconic and funny as well, that I would like to see it again! Thank you and keep doing this videos!! Best regards from Catalonia 👍👍

    Well I have seen crowds in Delhi chandni chowk and all 😂 this much is like minimum daily turnover it's too crowded but the food is usually cheaper in such place because there are so many restaurants closeby having similar dishes that they need to be competitive too. I would still prefer going to a more known place because the food is very more delicious compared to the other new ones who are still learning.

    Hi Rion! :) Where is a place to when it's crowded?Are there long lines everywhere in Japan during Obon? Are there any nice peaceful neighbourhoods ?
