Osaka & Nara Japan travel vlog 🇯🇵 | Nara Deer Park, Todai-ji Temple, Great Buddha, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugu, Dotonbori, Glico Sign & Rikuro Ojisan Cheesecake. Join me as I explore two completely different sides of Japan in one day! After Sapporo, we finally head to Osaka! 🇯🇵 In this episode of Dan’s Ikigai Japan Vlog, we check into Toyoko Inn Osaka near Nipponbashi Station before heading out to explore one of the most memorable parts of our Japan trip — Nara. From the lively shopping streets and famous freshly made mochi to the deer of Nara Park, the magnificent Todai-ji Temple and the Great Buddha, Nara gives us a completely different side of Japan. 🦌🍁 We then make our way back to Osaka for some seriously good food, including Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugu, famous tonkatsu and the iconic Rikuro Ojisan cheesecake. And once the sun goes down, Osaka transforms. 🌃 We head into Dotonbori for the neon lights, famous Glico Running Man sign, canal views, delicious gyoza and a proper Osaka night walk. From the peaceful atmosphere of Nara to the vibrant energy of Dotonbori — this episode really felt like experiencing two completely different sides of Japan in a single day. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:36 Flying to Osaka 00:52 Toyoko Inn Osaka Room Tour 01:16 Exploring Osaka 03:54 Osaka → Nara 04:20 Nara Shopping Streets 04:35 Famous Mochi in Nara 05:10 Nara Deer Park 🦌 07:57 Todai-ji Temple & Great Buddha 09:37 Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugu 11:01 Famous Tonkatsu 11:33 Rikuro Ojisan Cheesecake 12:25 Dotonbori at Night 🌃 13:41 Gyoza & Osaka Night Walk 15:46 Outro
