Trip to Osaka

During my living in Japan, the most forgetful trip for me is the trip to Osaka. It was decided suddenly by my Taiwanese friend, Mio and me. I have been to Osaka twice, and this is my second time to go to the west of Japan. The first time was in my high school times, which we visited our sister school in Osaka. For sure, not only Osaka, but we also went to Kyoto and Nara for 6 days. Due to the trip, I had a good memory of visiting in the Kansai area, which made me decide the trip suddenly.

We took a night bus from Yokohama station to Osaka station. It took about 10 hours to go there. Since we were both excited about the trip, we failed to fall asleep easily on the first night. Anyway, we arrived at 8 o’clock in the next morning and started our trip. The first spot was USJ (Universal Studios Japan). We spent the whole day staying inside it. There were various themes in each area. My favorite or my target was the theme of “Attack on Titan”. It is said that the facility was made of 4D. Then customers can also enjoy the atmosphere in the story. It was quite fun and enjoyable. Not only 4D itself but also real people performed on the stage, making its atmosphere more realistic.

Another facility that we were satisfied was the theme of “Harry Potter”. Since Mio is a big fan of it, she quite enjoyed it based on my observation. The facility itself moved a lot and it even reversed our bodies. I have to say that the best part was the visual. It literally led you into the magic world and experience it. After playing the facility, I pretty wanted to watch the whole series of movies again. Then you can see how awesome it was. Mentioning the facilities, I should not forget to talk about the parade. I can see that USJ had paid so hard doing this parade. I almost cried when I saw Harry Potter’s parade coming. The design was wonderful and awoke my memory of the stories. It became my best memory in USJ.

The second day of our trip, we went to a famous aquarium where plenty of visitors go. In fact, it had been a long time that I did not go to the aquarium. Therefore, I was so excited about it. In the building, we saw a variety of fish and sea creatures. From the near sea to the far sea area, creatures varied. The most interesting part was the feeding show. I felt so relaxed when I saw these animals being fed. This also became one of my best memory on this trip.

I like Osaka!
