New York bagels just hit different. 🥯✨ I finally tried a classic smoked salmon lox bagel, and now I’ll be chasing that experience forever.

An Everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, silky lox, and all the fixings—pure heaven. Enjoyed every bite while people-watching in Central Park. 🗽

Fresh off an 11+ hour flight, we headed straight to Manhattan’s Chinatown for some comfort food!

🍜 First stop: Maxi’s Noodle @maxisnoodle for a soul-warming wonton noodle soup—delicate broth, chewy duck egg noodles, and shrimp-packed wontons.

🥢 Then, a quick bite at Tonii’s Fresh Rice Noodle for a duck rice roll, made fresh to order. Both were simple, delicious, and worth the visit!

Can’t wait to go back for more. 🥢✨

📍Osaka Aquarium The Osaka Kaiyukan (Aquarium)

📍Osaka Aquarium

The Osaka Kaiyukan (Aquarium) was a nice stop during our stay on Osaka. We had to wait for about an hour for our queue time, but the mall next to the aquarium had a nice array of food options and stores to look through.

What I appreciated about this museum was that they highlighted the different oceans and the animals in them. My favorite part was seeing the whale shark feeding, and the room of various jellyfish 🪼😱 I hope to go back for their Great Barrier Reef exhibit when it’s done with renovations, but it was cool to see the colorful coral and sea anemones that were in place of that exhibit. Overall, a great experience to see different types of wildlife than what we have at our local aquarium!

📍Osaka Castle, Osaka

One of the highly suggested things to do in Osaka is visit the Osaka Castle. To get to the castle, the short 5 minute walk starts right outside of the Shinsaibashi station. The castle grounds are beautifully kept and the surrounding park is a nice place to take a leisurely stroll. Thankfully the weather was cool and the sun was not at its peak, because I could imagine that walk being unbearable during the summer!

Once you cross the bridge to get into the palace, we were greeted with informational signs and maps to get to the entrance of the castle. After paying the entrance fee of 600 yen ($3.85 USD), we decided to walk up the 8 floors to the observation deck at the top. I’m so glad we did! Each level showed us artwork that told the history of the battles held in Osaka, and there were even artifacts and warrior gear on display. You cannot take photos and videos of those, but you could pose in a warrior helmet, coat, and hold a sword for a paid photo!

I am glad to have walked those 8 floors and learned about the history of the Osaka castle while viewing the centuries-old artifacts. If you are heading to Osaka, strap on those walking shoes and visit the castle!

Tip: I wouldn’t suggest this attraction to someone who cannot walk well. I believe the elevator only goes up to the observatory deck that is very crowded, and to experience the other floors you’d have to walk down steep flights of stairs.

📍 Cup Noodle Museum, Osaka On our way back to

📍 Cup Noodle Museum, Osaka

On our way back to Osaka city from Minoo, we saw some people wearing their inflated Cup Noodle bags on the train. We looked up where the museum was, and jumped off at the next station 😂 For just 500円 you can experience the museum to learn the history of Cup Noodles, and make your own instant noodle creation!

After you wash your hands and receive your cup, you have 30 minutes to draw on the cup with the pens provided. There is also the cute Cup Noodle mascot, a little chick named Hiyoko-chan, that you can draw on your cup 🐥 After your 30 minutes is complete, you stand in line to make your creation with up to 4 toppings and your choice of curry, tomato, original, seafood seasoning.

I wish we went upstairs to the factory and tasting room! Maybe next time 😜🍜
