Wow I ate SO MUCH.. 😂 This trip happened right after I tore a ligament in my ankle.. & so I could barely walk & it kept swelling up (also took taxis literally everywhere haha 💸) which is why there was minimal sightseeing & mainly eating lol My other secret is that this trip was actually spread out over 8 DAYS, but magically edited it into 4 days 😉
The golden statues look like Billiken that was created by an art teacher in Kansas City and came to Japan in 1908. It is also known as "The God of Things as They Ought to Be". The original Japanese Billiken went missing from the original Tsutenkaku Tower around the time Luna Park closed in 1925 and a wooden replica was placed in the new Tsutenkaku Tower in 1980. That one in turn had gotten in such a bad shape by 2012 that it was replaced and he now resides on the fifth floor observation deck of Tsutenkaku Tower. The Glico running man was put up in 1935 as an ad, and he has changed his look a few times since then and the current version is generation 5. And of course he changes a bit to celebrate events and when Hanishin Tigers are playing.
I am Japanese, originally from Japan (Tokyo), and you definitely know better than I do loool. I now live in the US, but I will plan my next Japan trip based on your videos. Thank you so much for loving where I am from and the culture!
@@seerasanWe got two drinks each! The Marteani, the otsukaresamadeshita, and then two off-book bartender's choice drinks! Joe took out his notebook and made us two unique and awesome drinks he's been working on. We mentioned we heard about them from your video, and he said he remembered your visit! It was the perfect first thing to do after arriving in Kyoto!
Since I saw the community post, was very excited to see this one. LOL. (Although it's like the middle of the night here, so I'm going to get real hungry real quick dammit...)
@@seerasan I might actually order something off delivery now cause of this dammit. LOL. But nice video, I gotta take notes for when I go Kyoto/Osaka next time!
Wish you had made this video BEFORE we went to Kyoto (just came back from a 3 week trip), so many nice places! Oh well I'll just bookmark them for next time ;) TY!
According to Glico PR, the founder got the idea of the logo(glico man) from kids running in the shrine. He also thought that logo would represent health that matches the company’s principle.
"Glico man" is the special character for the caramel candy from Ezaki Glico, one of the top confectionery makers in Japan. The name is derived from glycogen, an energy source inside the animal body. The advertising blurb for the product is "Just one piece helps you run 300 meters," because it has 16.5 kcal which is necessary to run the distance.
The gold character that you kept seeing is called Billiken, a "god" in the area of Osaka. (I say "god" because he has only been around since the early 1900s, and was invented in America) It is said that his arms are too short to scratch the soles of his feet, and so he will grant good fortune/luck to any who will scratch them. You should do more food/drink vlogs Sarah, you picked some awesome looking stuff to show.. This was a great video. I love how Kyoto has held onto it's traditional architecture, it looks beautiful there.
No amount of food or drink can defeat our Aussie girl! Seems the only kryptonite is a small Italian plumber! 😂 Great video as always, delicious food, stunning views, and a gorgeous host! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much for another awesome video 👏👏. I've saved this to my Japan wishlist 🇯🇵. With all this food you ate Seera, how do you stay so slim 🤔. Love 💗 and hugs 🤗🫶
so those golden statues are called Billiken which are called the God of the Way things Ought to Be, people tend to pray at them for good fortune in business, schools and love and there is a myth saying rubbing their feet brings extra luck fun fact they were made by an American artist called Florence Pretz back in the early 1900s
Does anyone know the name of that kushikatsu restaurant in osaka that she had for dinner with the Udon? I looked up kushikatsu restaurant osaka and.. well let's just say... there are SO MANY! lol
Thank you for Osaka & Kyoto tour! You have shown and selected so many places. It was nice to see so many things to visit (like boat trip). Also previous Ninja training with Tokidoki team resulted good hits.
Wait I was the first comment?! And THAT’S what I chose to say?! 🫠 On a proper note, I’m so looking forward to Kyoto cafes! April can’t come fast enough 👏🏽
so cool to see this much of osaka and kyoto very grateful to sara for showing us but I am glad I did not watch this hungry also I hope her ankle got better!
You look gorgeous as always. I am glad to see someone loving coffee as much as I do. When I was in Karlsruhe my nickname was Coffee Dante. This is is one of my favorite videos. Really enjoyed it. Thank you. Sending Love from SanDiego. 😊
Eating/drinking up a storm, mate :-) And compliments on your mad ninja skillz. Best wishes from a fellow Aussie. P.S. I was able to beat "Super Mario Bros" on the NES back in the day, but I swear the arcade machine was more difficult (so don't feel bad).
Once again loved your video. You have no compunction. You come from a beautiful country of sunshine and infinite sandy beaches whilst showing this exuberance and love for another far of land and culture so diverse from your own. I think this adaptivity is is very rare. PEACE! Once again I love your videos keep them coming. Wish to visit Japan soon.
18:15 i went to the abeno harukas building in front of you. the view there was amazing. glad you went to shinsekai though, it was one of my favourite areas in osaka
I’m going back and binge watching your videos in the midst of a very anxiety ridden time. I am also folding つる to occupy my mind. Thank you so much for this wonderful moment of peace in the midst of everything! Take care!
Sarah have you thought of leaving a list of the places that you have reviewed ? It saves us having to sit down with pen and paper making notes on the places to go in kyoto and Osaka...
I literally thought you were calling the prizes poop, im thinking to myself, no don't do that, the lady is right beside you, but then i saw the key chain type thing that was shaped like a poop 😂 i hope your ankle heals quick Sarah.

Kansai Sarah. 👍🏼
I’m going to Kyoto and Osaka with my 17-year old son in two weeks so this was a timely inspiration indeed! Thanks!
I hope that you have healed now Seera 🫶

I like Kyoto. There are a lot of mix of old and new buildings. You can see more people with traditional clothing.
Eating and drinking is an underrated hobby. Much better than visiting temples and shrines. 🙂
My wife and I are having tea cocktails at O5 thanks to your recommendation and it is amazing!!
Super happy to hear!! Which tea cocktails did you guys get? 😍

I loved going to Bee Rush right by Dotobori. They go all out with the Halloween theme.
Halloween looks so fun in Osaka!
The Gate Hotel rooftop bar was a great suggestion. Enjoying coffee and french toast and taking in the view as I write this. Thanks for the tip.
Love to hear that! Enjoy the view 😍
You look radiant in this video!
As a foodie travelling to Japan soon I thank you for this video ❤
Looks like you had a fun trip!! Hope your ankle gets better soon, and keep up the good work :)
Yes. Yes yes YES!!!! Love it!
Love your yellow One Ok Rock T-shirt!
Thank you 😍
I can’t wait to go back for a longer stay at Osaka! Last time I was there just for two nights 😁
Also Hyogo is good place
Next time you're in Kyoto I dare you to show us the ninja cafe you briefly worked at...
Damn that okinomiyaki looks insane I stayed pretty close to that place😅I guess next time.
I’ve been using iced hojicha and whisky for a while. Didn’t know that was a actual thing
I. AM. A. NINJA! love it hahaha
According to Glico PR, the founder got the idea of the logo(glico man) from kids running in the shrine. He also thought that logo would represent health that matches the company’s principle.
the Glico running man was modelled after a Filipino sprinter, Fortunato Catalon
Ill be in tokyo nov 24 and ill be eating everthing! I rolled my ankle too, so ill be limping around
Oh no I feel you 😭 safe travels! (If you ever need to ice it for swelling, the convenience store is so handy to grab frozen ice cups!!)
Shuriken has a high hit rate👍👏
You are a ninja🥷
What is the name of the place where I can throw the shuriken. I am visiting in a couple of weeks and want to go there. Where is it located?
Thank you.
you had me at cheese
🧀
Kiodo 😉😄
Is Nagoya friendly to an English speaker?
I think your main job is also to do with food and filming. May I ask what the job entails?
The food looks almost as delcious as the host.
Girl, how much coffee can you drink per day?
Why are the locations not pinned on google maps? Absolutely impossible to find "Kushikatsu Restaurant" .....
Here you go~ The name is only in Japanese for some reason 串かつとお出汁 串右衛門
Ａｎａｔａｈａ ｙｏｋｕ Ｎｏｎｎｄａｒｉ Ｔａｂｅｔａｒｉｓｉｍａｓｕｎｅ😱
Life > 600 yen 😂
"way-fer"? Bruh. Isn't it "wah-fur"????
"Glico man" is the special character for the caramel candy from Ezaki Glico,

Osaka is the best. Good food, good vibes. Better than Tokyo.
I appreciate you showing off the local gems away from the tourist areas

Food is great! In Japan, even better!! Oh yeah!!
Kyoto station is such a beautiful work of architecture and engineering
Okonomiyaki is the first thing i wanna have if i ever visit Japan.
Good choice, it’s honestly my fav Japanese dish!
Thanks for your amazing vlogs. Yay freshly healthy cabbage pancakes!!
No amount of food or drink can defeat our Aussie girl! Seems the only kryptonite is a small Italian plumber! 😂 Great video as always, delicious food, stunning views, and a gorgeous host! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A lot of really nice spots, especially the Kushikatsu place looked amazing (I'd love to try the lotus root).
Great video, everything looked so delicious.
Where do you put all that food I gained ten pounds in Japan
Such a sweet heart, love your vibe..... I'll watch more! love the vibe and adventure! Byeeee!!!!
Wow, living the sweet life! 🙂
So many recommendations for Kyoto and Osaka condensed into this vid! Definitely saving it for the next time I find myself in those cities. Thanks!

So glad to watch this whilst eating dinner! It was like getting a tour of the places you visited ☺️. Glad your ankle is all better as well 🥳
Your accent in english sounds 50% aussie and 50% german.
I am watching this while lying in bed and eating an apple🙃

Wait I was the first comment?! And THAT’S what I chose to say?! 🫠
On a proper note, I’m so looking forward to Kyoto cafes! April can’t come fast enough 👏🏽
You'll love the cafes there, they're the best!!@@twoshadesofochre

That is super impressive!! How many hours did it take?? (And dollars haha)
Glad someone else agrees the arcade version is way harder!! 😂
❤❤❤❤❤
This video is making me really hungry! 🤤🤤🤤
Good job it was 8 days. That’s a lot of tasty snacks.
セーラさん👸、グリコマンの正式名称は『道頓堀グリコサイン』と言います。大正10年(1921年)に江崎グリコのキャラメルのパッケージのロゴとして公表されました。会社では『ゴールインマーク』と呼んでいるらしく、現在のグリコマンは６代目になるんです。グリコの初代社長は佐賀県出身で、佐賀市内にある八坂神社で、色々なアイデアを考えていて、その時に神社の境内で走っている子供👦がゴールした時に両手を広げていたのを見て、『これだ❗』と直感したそうです。キャラメルのパッケージには、『１粒300m(一粒三百米突)』と書いてあり、約３００mを走れるカロリーがある。と言う意味なんです😉🆗✨モデルになった人は、特にいないとのことですが、金栗 四三(かなぐり しそう)当時活躍していたマラソン選手ではないかなと思います(知らんけど～😅)
京都の宿泊施設や旅行先の有名スポットは、外国人の方が詳しいかも知れない😅
グリコのランナーの看板は、昔のグリコのお菓子のパッケージのデザインだよ😊

You don’t know Billiken? He is Osaka’s symbol!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much ☺️💞
Your Japanese pronunciation is perfect!
Sarah have you thought of leaving a list of the places that you have reviewed ? It saves us having to sit down with pen and paper making notes on the places to go in kyoto and Osaka...
Great ninja skills! Didn’t see you for the last meal 😂
Grand Tea House adventure!! Converse Texas loves your vlogs!!
I literally thought you were calling the prizes poop, im thinking to myself, no don't do that, the lady is right beside you, but then i saw the key chain type thing that was shaped like a poop 😂 i hope your ankle heals quick Sarah.
LOL 😂
Thank you, it’s pretty much all healed up now!
What is the location of the festival games place? Is that the name?? Couldn’t find it
