Today we're leaving Tokyo and are off to the city of bright lights, unmissable street food and bustling nightlife Osaka!

It's around a three to four hour trip on the Bullet Train from Tokyo to Osaka, and I definitely suggest booking a JR Pass (must be purchased before arriving in Japan!) so you can catch the Shinkansen for free it works out very affordable if you plan on travelling between cities. Plus, the 300km/h ride is suuuuper comfortable and it's lots of fun watching your surroundings zoom past!

This is also my third visit to Japan's secondlargest city, but it's the first time I've featured Osaka in a #hijessicaanneinjapan vlog. I can't wait to share some of my favourite spots with you! This trip I stayed in one of the most unique, and BEAUTIFUL, Airbnbs I've ever seen, which was situated in the very local neighbourhood of Nakatsu. It was a gorgeous mix of old and new Japanese architecture, and if you're looking for a fantastic place to stay in Osaka, it comes with a glowing recommendation from me!

Stay tuned, more Osaka vlogs are on their way!
