HELLO 🤗 BEAUTIFULLY HANDSOME COUPLE ❤ ❤❤ It's so colorful!!!
Shinsekai will always have a special place in my heart. I stayed there as a broke uni student in japan when i was visiting my now-wife in Osaka. I didnt have wifi and couldnt properly research the area and i found It was sooo sketchy and full of drunk ojisans wandering the streets. Stayed there last year and was pleasantly surprised how happening and cleaned up it is now with all the people.
Thanks for the nostalgia Shinichi! Lovely video.
It seems you prefer the retro places that bring back a Showa or even Taisho or Meiji vibe whereas Satoshi prefers modern; I'd like to comment on that. I was born in Japan but came to the US when I was two years old and grew up in the US school system of course. I remember around 1987 my uncle came from Japan and I wanted to show him historic Wrigley Field in Chicago. He was singularly unimpressed, such an obsolete and uncomfortable ballpark was unthinkable in Japan. I visited my relatives two years later, and he recommended I go see a large–shopping center is not the right word, a transportation hub that is also a commercial center–built for the Osaka Expo of 1970. I was very unimpressed in fact disgusted. Perhaps you are searching for a Japan you never got to experience, whereas Satoshi may be seeking a Japan he has been hoping to see.
Why is there a koala on the mail van?
I would totally get seasick especially if the waves are choppy/weather is bad. I watched a Japanese blogger through Covid times who rode all the ferrys and I always marveled that they rarely seemed to feel sick despite the weather/waves. I suppose they had their “sea-legs”.
The food display brings back memories. I always used to order chicken rice omelet and cream soda. 懐かしい! ❤
That sento in shinsekai is so lovely and such a throwback. I hope to go there again soon!
That looks a great place to stay in Osaka. What is it called please guys? Aussie Bob 😊
I just saw in the comments that the area is called Zarigani. Cheers. Aussie Bob ❤❤

Good morning 🌅 from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. You two 2️⃣ should come to this SHOTENGAI again in the evening so that all the shops 🏬 and restaurants would be opened by then.
Hi 👋 again., I had taken Japanese 🇯🇵 hot spring bath before in Japan 🇯🇵, and I feel it’s best when taken in the winter months at 🇯🇵 Japan’s remote country side towns like KARUIZAWA, and other towns.
Love streets like that!
Heading back to Osaka in June and plan on exploring this area.
One of my favorite parts of Osaka! So happy it's still looking so retro and they didn't modernise it ❤ You should totally check out the side streets of Osaka, too! The main areas are packed, but the side streets have these empty parks and a totally different feel.
Aloha and thank you so much for the shout out! I’m glad you had a good time in Osaka! Please stay at the shotengai next time!
old building are truly stunning and people are amazed at the styles of old world building intersperced throughout all the modern stuff i think a video of food and architecture in Okinawa would be so cool peace love and light
I love the older places too, better chances of finding something really unique.
You guys are the cutest ❤ I love yer videos for many years now
Looks we missed you by a day. We went to Do Re Mi on a tour of Osaka junkissa. Would recommend Do Re Mi, Madura, and American. Fun theme for a vid maybe?
I love Osaka, probably not a single other city feels like home so much as Osaka. I don't even know why.
Never managed to get up to Tsutenkaku Tower, but I kinda prefer looking from Abeno Harukas or Umeda Sky anyway 😀
We discovered Shinsekai on our last trip and fell in love with the retro atmosphere. We want to go back and spend more time there. Thanks for taking us with you guys.
Love this video!
My home is entirely pre war Japanese kitch! It's my life! Come visit me in Portland,remember I live above the dance floor of the oldest all male nude gay strip club here. I have to visit Osaka to shop and explore… join me in 26'. Love you boyz❤
Thankyou
