You can't get a digital Suica or Icoca card on an Android phone unless you have a Japanese Android phone. You'll need a physical IC card.
Where don I know you from?
11:24 what’s up with that???
lol 😂 sure, just go where everyone else is going … I will never understand why everyone suggests the exactly same lame places.
Hi there can you please recommend a hotel in Osaka thanks
Супер! Скоро еду в Японию!!!
Hi! I would like to reserve at Kobe Beef Ishida. Would you know how? Thanks.
Accomadation Namba
Dotonburi neighborhood go to first, food, lights, busy , go to hosenji yokacho, splash water on the Buddhist statue

Late lunch The most deserted ramen bar in the world.
@sunny_in_japan what about the other hotels you mentioned esp in Namba?
Love all the coffee shop suggestions!
Great & informative video! Do you offer free Osaka day tour? Haha. 😄😍
I like that your husband is Japanese and from Osaka himself and you live in Japan as a native, so you get a real in-depth look at Osaka and other parts of Japan for that matter. Due to the aforementioned credibility, it puts me at confidence in your experiences and suggestions. Aside from that, video format wise, I like how set up your videos, very down to earth with some cute shots of the area and great feedback. Thank you for posting and having a channel like this, it's very educational, informative, and has fun too. It's also cute to see your husband camera shy haha.
Hi, Sunny, do you have any recommendation on renting Kimono with professional studio photo shooting in Tokyo or in Osaka?
Perfectly located, the hotel offers a fair money–value and Joyce and her team are very warm and professional. Thank you!
Video is as confusing as Osaka it self. 😂
This video is so detailed, thank you!
Hello fellow Melbournian, the Meander unfortunately has no availability for my trip coming up early next year. Do you have any other hotel suggestions?
I am sorry, is it travel guide or hotel advertising video?
This is so helpful! My lodging is at Shinsaibashi, and I have 3 days in Osaka but I didn’t know where to go.
I put Day1: UsJ/Namba; Day2:Osaka Castle/Tempozan/Umeda; Day3:Ikeda/Minoh Falls/Abeno Harukas
But do you think it’s possible realistically?
MEANDER大阪ホテルでインタビューを受けた女性は中国人ですね。
日本語が完璧でなくイントネーションが中国の人と分かります
海外観光客相手に商売をする店は中国人経営者が多いと聞きます。
大阪などの観光地ではアパートを買い取った中国人が家賃を上げて住人の日本人を追い出して民泊専用にしてしまう事態が問題になりましたね
People ask many questions due to innate curiosity and a desire to learn, but it can also stem from anxiety, lack of confidence, social difficulties, forgetfulness, or even attention-seeking or manipulative motives. The reasons can range from genuinely wanting to understand the world to attempting to control or dominate a conversation, with an individual's intent and the context of the situation determining the primary driver for their questioning 😂😂😂
We went to the Takokaki place with big octopus but it was Nothing like how you filmed. We were very Upset!
Spoken like a true girl from Melbourne. You can go to Starbucks, but if you want a good coffee………
In Osaka now, 2nd day and I'm literally sitting with my gf doing nothing cuz we've already done the major things, all that's left is to just walk around really but if we go back to Tokyo now, won't feel like we missed much
hmmm,… Osaka Historical Museum is missing … it is extremely interesting and also,… from the stairway there are really good views of the castle …
Awesome help for Osaka. And the ramen recommendation is top notch!
I wanted to go to japan just for the cheap authentic luxury bags,watch ,clothes and food.Mainly shopping and food trip,you might have an idea?
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. 😊👍
Avoid Nara. Beautiful place ruined by tourism. A mob of idiots. Foreigners should be banned. Locals only
Man alive! I was drewling watching that!😅
05:28 What is the address of the Kani Doraku that sells Kaniman? I looked up the chain and it showed multiple locations in Osaka. Thank you
Great video, thank you! Such an Aussie thing, "there is Starbucks but if you want a decent coffee." We know what good coffee is, well at least us Perthians do. 😄😄😄
Great video anna kendrick! 👍
Thanks!
Hi. You’re videos are so helpful. Glad I came across your channel. A random question for my wife though. The white jacket you wore in the video, what brand is it or where did you get it? Around the 23 minute mark.
Hello lovely thank you so much for the video. I have one question so would you suggest staying at the same hotel you stayed in if I’m trying to go to the Ghilbi Park in Nagoya? Like I’m still debating whether to choose to stay as my base in Osaka or just go to Kyoto and then like wake up in the morning Kyoto and just go to the Gaby Park or do you think it’s fine if I just wake up in the morning at the hotel you stayed at and then go to the Gaby Park
This video was very informative and helped us plan our trip to Osaka. Thank you!
Just used the discount code, still Applies, Thanks Sunny!
A new subscriber from Australia! This is 1st vid I watched on your channel! Love it!. Is it easy for people with dairy and nuts allergy to visit Japan? Anyone knows?
Thank you Sunny
Such a useful video. We are planning our trip next month, and this is a great starting point. Thanks.
This is quality video
That bit about "kita" and "minami" was so helpful. I'll be going on my fourth trip to Osaka in March and so many things just clicked. 😅
Editing and content are super well done. ❤
worst video on osaka.
Is there a discount code for Meander for 2026?
The Okonomiyaki restaurant looks so cool! Definitely going when we go to Japan soon
