In 2015, a group of racing friends and I planned a trip to Japan to attend the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix. It was definitely an unforgettable experience. Now that the main event was out of way, it was time to explore the rest of Japan!

So far the cities in Japan that I've featured have been Nagoya and Suzuka. Osaka city is next up but I don't have much to show of Osaka as I was mainly spending my time in line for rides at Universal Studios. Here are some photos of Osaka:
All aboard the Shinkansen!
Dotonbori.
Biohazard (Resident Evil) the Ride.
Some ladies in costume.
I had a chance to go Back to the Future before they permanently removed the ride. The attraction was first opened in Universal Studios Florida in 1991 and in 2001 for Universal Studios Osaka. The ride officially closed for good on May 31, 2016 and Osaka was the last.
And let's not forget, Osaka's main attraction!
Universal Studios Osaka has a Harry Potter-themed area but I opted to visit the rest of the park while my friends spent most of their time there. If you want to visit everything, including Harry Potter, you will need at least 2 days. Make sure you get to the park early and buy those magical passes that gets you to the faster line.
