Powered by Dreams & Vibes -Team 1

For adnstyle 20th anniversary, the Osaka workshop was set, and on one October day…
Chohee, Minji, Eunmi, Hyunseung, Hyunju, and Sieun became a team.
Maybe it was fate—brought together by the same dreams of Osaka and the same excitement for travel.

And just like that, Team 1 was born!
With thorough research and planning, we nailed our trip presentation, scoring 2nd place and winning 30,000¥—the perfect way to kick off our adventure!

Chewing Gum! Off to Universal Studios Japan!

While planning our Osaka workshop, there was one thing we refused to give up on—no matter the budget or scheduling challenges… Universal Studios Japan!
As Asia’s first Universal Studios, this world-famous theme park rivals Disneyland and welcomes 16 million visitors a year. And just like that, we **stepped into the world of our favorite animations—**a dream come true!

Experience

Back to Childhood!

Universal Studios Japan is huge, and with our tight schedule, we did our homework beforehand.
But the moment we stepped in, we were hit with non-stop animation magic—so much that it was hard to even move forward!
The missions along the way only fueled our excitement even more.
Even now, it still feels like we’re living inside a movie!

When you think of Osaka,
it’s gotta be takoyaki!

After our epic Universal Studios adventure, our hungry team headed straight to the Takoyaki Museum!
This spot is a takoyaki lover’s paradise, bringing together multiple vendors so you can try different styles all in one place.
We went all in with four flavors—original, cheese, mentaiko (pollock roe), and ponzu sauce—plus a special crispy rice-fried takoyaki. And of course, we paired it with ice-cold beer.
That crispy-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside perfection? Still unforgettable! 😘"

adnstyle, Fully Assembled!

After dropping off our bags at the hotel, we took a stroll—only to realize we were surrounded by familiar faces 🤭.
The perfect weather made Osaka’s night view stretch endlessly before us—absolutely stunning.
And who knew the blue lights at the Umeda Sky Building observatory could be so much fun?! 🤣🤣
Our inner child is definitely still alive!

Paradise Found in Shibata! 🍻🍻🍻🍻

Osaka’s nightlife led us to a famous food alley and into an izakaya (Japanese pub).
After wandering around, struggling to find a spot for six, we finally landed the perfect place—and let’s just say, it was pure heaven!

Chewing Gum~ Rocking a Yukata~+_+

Our second travel theme? Yukata! We wanted to fully immerse ourselves in Japan, and what better way than wearing traditional attire while exploring the city?
Dressed up in beautiful yukatas, we strolled through Osaka’s best food spots and tourist attractions, soaking in the vibes like true locals!

The must-visit sushi spot :
Kamesushi Sohonten!

The first stop in our yukata adventure? None other than Kamesushi Sohonten—Osaka’s must-visit sushi spot! We savored some next-level sushi, nailed our team mission, and kept our itinerary running exactly as planned!

Wear geta for only an hour…

We hopped on the Midosuji Line, which took us to the trendy Tsutenkaku Tower district. While tourists from all over snapped photos of us, we stayed focused on our mission.
But maybe this was the turning point… when our energy hit rock bottom.
Turns out, yukatas aren’t as comfy as they look—and the stylish shoes we refused to give up?
Yeah, they didn’t help either.
Note to self : Geta sandals? One hour max.

Recharge at the Senior Café

But we couldn’t skip the business prosperity shrine, so we pushed through and visited Imamiya Ebisu Shrine. To recharge, we stopped at a Senior Café—filled with lots of smoke and elderly regulars. Still, the iced coffee and cream soda were lifesavers, bringing us back to life for the next adventure!

Osaka’s Iconic Dotonbori

With our final yukata photos in Dotonbori, we wrapped up the look and returned to our usual selves.
Using our hard-earned mission prize money, we ended Day 2 with a feast of yakiniku—the perfect way to celebrate!

Let’s Feast on Yakiniku! 🥩🍻🥩🍻🥩🍻🥩🍻

For our last night in Osaka, we made sure to reserve a yakiniku spot in Dotonbori!
We went all out—thick cuts of fauseul and chuck flap, flexing on all the best beef.
Just look at that marbling! The charcoal-grilled flavor made it absolutely next-level delicious!

SEE YOU AGAIN, OSAKA

After two days of non-stop adventure, Team 1 took a slow morning to recharge and get ready to head back.
We split into two groups—the department store squad and the chill squad—before meeting up again at HEP Five.
From the HEP Five Ferris wheel, we took in a whole new view of Osaka by day, a contrast to the nightscape we saw from Umeda Sky Building on Day 1.
One last bowl of ramen to savor Osaka’s flavors, and then—it was off to the airport.
