We've compiled 19 travel themes that will help you fully experience the charms of these four cities: Osaka, a city of taste and style; Kyoto, a city steeped in a 1,000-year-old capital; Kobe, a port city with a unique sensibility; and Nara, a place where you can enjoy leisurely time with deer. Divided into 19 categories, we've compiled a list of travel themes that will help you fully experience these four cities.

We thoroughly analyze Universal Studios Japan, a must-visit theme park in Osaka, and introduce the best way to enjoy it efficiently.
Unlike theme parks in Korea, you can't buy tickets on site on the day, but rather reserve an express pass at least a month in advance to fully enjoy the park.
There are many different types of tickets and the rides you can enjoy vary depending on the ticket, so it is essential to prepare in advance.
This is not just a collection of fragmented information floating around the internet, but it provides clear information to help you master Universal Studios Japan, including pass information, app information, a breakdown of attractions by area, and even how to quickly ride popular attractions.

〈EATING〉 Kansai's signature must-eat menu: a city you'll eat yourself to death without even realizing it

When asked what the highlight of a trip to Kansai is, no one would disagree that the answer is food.
There are many delicious restaurants in Kansai and many places that are the origin of representative Japanese foods.
Okonomiyaki, takoyaki, Japanese-style Western food, kaiseki cuisine, Kobe beef, and even Dojima rolls all originated in Kansai.
This book carefully introduces a variety of foods that you must try in Kansai, from main dishes to desserts, divided by theme.


In addition, we have faithfully introduced the basic menus and restaurants that you will find when you go to Japan, such as sushi, udon, and ramen.
We also feature hot spots where you can experience Japanese whiskey, which is booming in Korea, as well as alcohol trips for drinkers.

〈SHOPPING〉 Don't miss out on the enzer.
It's time to shop! Kansai Shopping List


The real joy of travel is shopping! We introduce Osaka's iconic shopping spots, including the Shinsaibashisuji Shopping Street, Hankyu Department Store, Daimaru Department Store, and Don Quijote.
We also introduce a wide range of themed shopping items, including essential items like medicine, cosmetics, and daily necessities found at drugstores, as well as brands you might find at department stores.
