I know I’ve been on hiatus for almost three months because, well, life happened. 😮💨 But now that I’m back, I’m picking up right where I left off: talking more about my last trip to Japan.
Back in September, I visited Osaka with my friends 
During our first week, I really felt the summer heat. 🥵 Since
As soon as we landed, we asked our Airbnb hosts if we could drop our bags and change before check-in. They were so gracious and said yes. After a quick outfit change, we headed straight to Osaka Castle. We roamed the park and took way too many pictures.

One thing that surprised me was the trains. They were so fun! Many were painted with different themes and colors, making every ride a delight. Also, even during rush hour, the trains weren't nearly as packed as the ones in Tokyo. That was a huge plus for me.
Looking back at my photos, it feels like my time there was too short. I guess that just means I definitely have to visit again! 😎😜💃
Note: All photos were taken by me.
