My name is Anna, I’m 25 years old and from Stockholm, Sweden! I am a talkative and happy person who loves meeting new people. I really like going to the cinema, trying new restaurants, reading and spending time in nature. I also enjoy going out to bars and clubs. I also have a weakness for cute pastries. Right now I am in Japan on a working holiday visa and so far I’ve been travelling around to experience different places, but I’ll probably settle down somewhere and find work in the winter.

Solo travel experience

Osaka castle is one of the most visited attraction other than Dotombori street. A visit to the Kuromon Market is not to be missed... it’s a heaven for trying (or just looking at) the variety of street food available there. Try the eel, crab on stick, oysters, baby octopus on stick, Kobe beef on stick... and the list goes on. I would recommend a short trip to either Nara or Kyoto from Osaka. Kyoto has a lot to do so choose carefully what you would want to do in Kyoto. Famous are the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine and the arashiyama bamboo grooves. Both get extremely crowded and I could manage only one in a day. These are train rides from Kyoto so check before you decide. Also Kyoto itself has lots of temples and shrines and beautiful gardens but all get very very crowded!! And with the blossoms out, it would be even more. In the alternative, you can also consider a trip to Hemji castle from Osaka.
