Week 9: Osaka/Kyoto

This week we went to Osaka and Kyoto! My friends and I wanted to go to Universal Studios in Osaka and dotonbori. We got to try takoyaki from the stands around the area and appreciate the night view.

The following day we went to Universal Studios and went to Super Mario World! I have been to Universal Studios in the United States, but I never got to go to Super Mario World, so it was very impressive with how well the amusement park was made, really providing a very immersive experience!

A few days later, we went to Kyoto and got to try a lot of good food like wagyu ramen and uji matcha! Kyoto was filled with a lot of traditional architecture which really made it stand out compared to modern Tokyo.
