Osaka Tours 👑🐷 Hidden Food and Hipster Neighbourhood Guide 

Please enjoy the very first Osaka Tours, this is just part 1/2 videos! We're trying to get Osaka Tours Part 2, the food edition, up before the end of the year. And if you're planning a trip to Japan, check out my new Digital Travel Guide Store: shop.thatch.co/@kingkogi

Hey, thanks for stopping by Rally's. It was nice meeting you guys!

I love when you showcase small businesses, chains aren’t bad but seeing unique stores that the owners are clearly passionate about is so cool, it’s such a different vibe

Love that you & Dan are still friends after all these years & working together

The production value on these is absolutely incredible, merry christmas martina!

When you can't travel because your job gives you too little vacation time, you do the next best thing and watch Martina's tour videos.

Long time fan here! (Honestly don’t know how many years) seeing you reconnect with old friends *Dan❤* makes my heart so happy. Fully respecting y’all’s personal decisions to show him on screen how much or little you want but just wanted to say it makes me happy to know that you’re surrounded by loved ones!! Thank you for your cozy travel and food vlogs that consistently suppress my unrelenting irrational day to day anxiety!!

Your content is a cut above the rest when it comes to Japan. Funny vibe, not too silly, GREAT tips, unique, relaxed, awesome editing and soundtrack. I just love your videos!

Martinas videos are a showcase of strength and perseverance to me. I went through a horrifying breakup this year and seeing her move past hers, live on, shine as bright as she does, empowers me deeply! Thank you for these videos, you're an angel!

Awesome to see an OG youtuber in a modern light, still thriving in 2022- almost 2023. The quality is amazing Martina! - returning sub from like... eons ago xD

Merry Christmas Martina and everyone reading this. Thank you for the joy and fun you brought this year. Here is to new year with new adventures.

I lost touch with the EYK channel during college, but then I heard Martina made her own channel! I'm so glad to see/hear that you're still going strong Martina, I've always loved the way you did the travel vlogs :)

I wanted to come to your space after watching your video on the old channel and just say how proud I am of you. The past few years have been hard for all of us, but your personal journey even more so. And your consideration for your community and constant effort to spread positive energy, even when being directly attacked. You are amazing. And on a much less drama filled note, I have loved the vibes on King Kogi from day one. The music, the atmosphere, the humor all flows so well together. It's a ton of fun and I always look forward to the next post.

It honestly makes me so happy when you and Dan make another video. I have always adored the work Dan does! It’s clear that he and Martina have amazing creative synergy. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE and binge watch your solo content girl, but when you and Dan make a video together… MAGIC! This was a treat -thank you! 💖

Genuinely think you have hit a new high with your content these days. Can't image how tough it's all been, but really - clearly this was what it was all leading too. Awesome stuff kogi and crew! ❤️

I’m so obsessed with your hair right now Martina!! I don’t know how you manage to keep it looking so soft and healthy. I’m sure you already know this, but I’m totally getting Sophie from Howl’s moving castle vibes 😂 Thank you for these videos!! I am so happy to see you living your best life and including us in your good times. I hope you are in good health and wishing you all the luck and prosperity in the new year!! We love you Martina! The world is a better place with you in it 🥰

King Kogi videos never fail to be the very highlight of my day any day!! This was awesome, as per usual 🧡 Merry Christmas, Martina and Dan!

Hey Martina I just wanted to say I am SO proud of you. Breakups are hard and as a product of divorce I know how hard that was for you, I know the reality of how often people can just fold from the pressure and sort of stick to what is easy and comfortable. I'm simply amazed how you were able to pick yourself back up and continue to pursue your passions. It really is inspiring. As the great Cher once sang "Do you believe in life after love?" I love all the new videos, hopefully one day I'll finally get to go to Japan and try out some of your recommendations. Can't wait for the next video

My husband and I have watched you for years. I went to Japan in 1988. I was 19. I have ever since, wanted to go back. My husband and I are planning a trip in our nearish future. Thanks for the new King Kogi travel plans. We will definitely support you. Have you met Eric surf 6? We've watched him for years, too. We love you, Martina. ❤️❤️❤️

i love how you can see the small businesses you visit talking in your comments a lot! its really nice to see, brings more of a homely vibe

YOU AND DAN ARE BACK TOGETHER!!! This makes me so happy and I'm loving this new travel format. Can't wait to see what other video guides you put together :)

Sending you lots of love on this painful day. You are so brave, Martina.

Merry Christmas Martina, here's to a 2023 where King Kogi can continue to grow and gain more traction in its own right 💕 I think videos like this, with such wonderful production quality, are a great sign of things to come. (And you'll always be a chronic illness icon) Edited To Add: Oh!! Would you consider adding accessibility notes to your guides? As a wheelchair user and traveller, I'd love if the recommendations contained a small note saying if a place is wheelchair accessible and if it has an accessible toilet, for example.

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you get to eat your own food without someone scarfing it down themselves. I’ve watched you for years quietly and I’m here for this new channel! ❤ u Martina

I've been a fan since I was in middle school and you were back in Korea (I'm 20 now) and this new age of production is my favorite so far. It feels thought out and genuine. It's laid back and friendly, very approachable! I love these new videos and I'm so excited for more!

Martina! I love your new channel! I have been watching you since I was 12! (I’m 22 turning 23 in May!) I have always admired you and I am so happy to see that you’re doing well in life + flourishing!!

Thank you for introducing me to the rare city of Osaka.😄👍🏯🐙🎊💐🏆　　　　　　　　🇯🇵😄👋

This vid came in clutch! Just booked a flight to japan for the first time in 5 years, definitely do more of these!

I feel bad leaving eatyourkimchi, i accept i'm attached to the channel and not being comfortable unsubscribing there, but i'm happy to continue seeing Martina and wishing you the best. Martina, i don't know if you'll read this, but i love you even i don't know you (parasocial relationships are so strange lmao), and eyk was part of my comfort zone for many years, and i want to continue supporting you and cherish you with your new direction and rebranding. I got a lil teary brb i'll watch the video to pacify myself 🤧.

I have so much I want to say to you... but all I'll say is keep on keeping on girl. You are the epitome of reliance and I'm thankful for the little blips of sunshine you bring to so many lives.

This comes so handy! I’m planning my trip for autumn 2023 and I really trust your recommendations for hidden gems 🥰💜 Edit: just saw that we can buy your guide ahhhh absolutely perfect!!!

Haha wow that graffiti was a masterpiece 😂

We love Dan! Our silent hero!

I enjoyed that Bumfart graffiti made the little “wish you were here” postcard 😂

I keep seeing those Lego flowers all over my Twitter feed! They're so cute in that first shop

I love how thorough you are in your guides. Also, all the effort you put into editing and doing your voice overs really shows

The first thing i zoned in on is the cute piggy plush during the bullet train trip, its so adorable!

Ahhh! It has always been my dream to go to Osaka! So glad for this tour 🤎 Huge thanks, Martina!

I really enjoyed this episode!! It was like I was transported through the screen and there exploring with you! Congratulations on officially launching your own tour guides! Excited to use them when I visit Japan 💗

Omg yesssss!!!!!! I am so excited for your travel guides!!! When i went to Japan in 2019 i remember seeing in one of your videos that you pinned stuff on google maps because the directions are sorta wonky so i was doing that all throughout my trip with things like stores and gachapon machines that had sailor moon stuff to return to the next day. It was so helpful! I always credited you in my head with that idea. I will 100000% buy your travel guides for my next trip to Japan. Holy cow im so excited! Thank you so much for all the hard work and hard work to come with making these guides! ❤

Congratulations on launching the guide! That is so exciting! Your videos are such a chill vibe, I am always pumped when a new one pops up 🥰

These videos are sooo polished and still really welcoming, it's amazing. Thanks so much for these amazing videos! Can't wait for pt.2!

Amazing editing, and beautiful cinematography. What a team you and Dan are! 🙌🏽 Looking forward to part two.

OMG! Congratulations on launching your travel guides! That's so incredibly cool!!

What an entertaining episode! I can't get enough of your tours. This format is honestly brilliant. 💖

It makes me so happy when you post. I love seeing you live your best life exploring Japan.

Martina, you are doing A-MA-ZING! I love seeing you thrive with King Kogi

Love this series, Martina! I always appreciate much effort goes into weaving an engaging narrative with beautiful shots.

Truly, truly, watching this video made me so warm and happy inside. I've been to Tokyo briefly once, but this exploration of the more idle and everyday parts of Osaka is what I've been craving for. How did it manage to create nostalgia for a place I haven't been? Thank you for showing us around Martina 🥺💕

OMG I’ve literally been saving notes in my phone about things from your videos to visit since 2013. Hoping to actually make it to Japan this year. SO EXCITED to check out your guides!!

Thanks for all the fish 🐟 Not leaving, just...thanks Martina n♥️

I’m so very glad to see your amazing Japan videos still going strong on your personal channel! All my support 🫶🏻💝🍓

Gawd 😤 these videos are just insane! I love how in tune you are with the culture, how you cherish and lift up the micro as well as the macro and effortlessly show the relationship between the two, from teeny local haunts to giant crab joints. There's farty art and stickers and local snacks and also so much relaxation to be had, it allows your viewers to actually look forward to some relaxing vacation times instead of feeling overwhelmed by the prospect. Now onwards to the food guide! Which will make my eyeballs explode from takoyaki jealousy. Amazing work- lots of love to you gal, and happy holidays!!💕🎄✨

I was having a truly awful day and your videos always make me feel better. It's fun watching you explore the places you go and showing small business owners some love. Keep making awesome videos, Martina. Happy Holidays to you and Happy Holidays to Dan, too.

Love watching your videos in the morning as a reminder of all the good things I might find along the way during my day. Nothing can replace Martina giving us tours of back alleys, showing us the local stickers and street art, and giving us those sexy time food shots. Did I mention the tiny adorable micro worlds she builds and enjoys! Love!

Always excited for your videos and I love the inclusion of cultural history!! Amazing job as usual. A big thank you to you and Dan! Hope y’all have a safe and fun holiday season!! Edit: these travel guides are such a good idea!!

Hope everyone has a good Christmas and has the energy to enjoy the season whatever you celebrate or don’t! I love how relaxing these videos are. We have to save up for it but hoping to travel to Japan in a year or two so great to see all the areas for ideas. A great video for today after doing too much over the past couple of days.

This was AMAAAAAAAZING!!! I can't wait for part 2 and to be able to follow your guides (just need to save up a little ) for when I eventually make it to Japan. Keep up the great work!!! Hvala lijepa!

I went to Hugh's Pizza and absolutely enjoyed it! I currently live in Japan and sometimes miss American food, especially pizza (Japanese food is great but there are times when you miss food from home) and thanks to you, I was able to kill those feelings of culinary homesickness. Thank you!

I'm so excited for your travel guide! What a marvelous idea. I've been watching since the Korea days and I'm absolutely delighted by all of the positive changes in your life. You're a creative powerhouse and your attention to detail is second to none. In addition to all that, you're a warm, charming, and humorous host. I can't wait to see what's next!! Love from NYC.

I am amazed by your filming and editing skills every time you upload. You are such a ray of light in this world. So happy to see you thriving ❤

Love love love how magical you make everything feel and how you highlight all the small shops. Support local, support small! Lots of love from northern Canada!

So many great finds! Your videos are, as per usual, so well done! Enjoyed traveling Osaka with you, cannot wait for part 2!! And heck yeah to your digital guides, purchasing them immediately!

Great to see neighbourhoods beyond the places you always hear about in Osaka. Thanks for the tour!

Love your videos, your personality, and your optimistic views. Hope you have a smooth transition into the new year. I'm thankful you are continuing to take us all on a journey through life with you. Also, you look amazing as always!

Your video style is so relaxing honestly it's so nice to watch to it. Definitely feels like a new leaf after the style of videos you used to make in the past. It's also nice to be able to keep supporting you. Happy early holidays :)

I love your videos Martina. They make me feel super relaxed after a stressful day/week. Thank you for always giving us awesome content. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I love that you're working with Dan! One of my bucket lists will be to go to places in your tours!

I was so excited to see you feature Osaka on your channel! My late ojisan lived there, so it's near and dear to my heart. Whenever I visit Japan, I always make it a point to stay at least a week in Osaka. We're heading back to Japan in February for our honeymoon. Watching this makes me miss it so much. Can't wait!

im so excited to watch more! i love ur tour videos, the editing is fun, and the locations are interesting. i enjoy the chill vibe, its like a little relaxing dive into the secrets of japan. thank u martina (and dan)! ill be sure to check our ur guides when i make a trip to japan next ^^

Love your content, your style and your joy, so glad to be here for the journey. Thank you x

Yey!!! Thank you Martina! This came out just in time for our Osaka trip today!❤

Congrats on your new travel guide venture Martina!! I will absolutely be using them when I visit Japan ❤️✨

This was such a pleasure to watch Martina! Have been a fan since EYK and love all the things you are doing with King Kogi. Lovely to see you an Dan working together on these hidden tour vids ❤ Hoping you have a great new year!! Much love from rainy Scotland 😊

hi Martina - it's so uplifting to see the content you create and it's so lovely to see you enjoying yourself

Thank you for creating such great content and all the hard work that goes into it. I really appreciate how thoughtful you are by recommending a less noisy and crowded place to enjoy snacks, so anyone who might be overstimulated will be able to enjoy the same thing. Keep creating this wholesome content that I have enjoyed from you for years. 🙂

Always love seeing new videos from you! They always give me positive vibes for the day :)

Love this! Visiting Japan is high on my bucket list! This video is amazing! Delicious looking food! Merry Christmas Martina...and Dan!...and thanks so much for sharing these videos! Stay safe! 💜

Thank you so much Martina for this awesome Osaka guide! I'll be in Osaka this coming new year and this guide will surely help me a lot!! Thanks 😁😁😁

Planning our trip to Japan next year, excited to dig through your videos and guides!!

Merry Christmas and happy 2023!!! I've always taken so much comfort from getting to go on these adventures with you through all these years. Thank you for sharing your warmth and light. Wishing you every happiness in the coming year!!

Martina, your content is, and always has been, amazing. I cannot wait to use your travel guides one day.

Love showcasing smaller neighbourhoods! Adding these to my list, thanks so much!

You are such a light and joy, Martina!! Thank you for this amazing video and I'm so excited for your digital guides as I'm planning an autumn 2023 Japan trip. I've been to Japan before (longest stint was a 4 month study abroad trip) but obviously not since before 2020 and I can't wait to bring my partner to many amazing places I already love (often from your recommendations!) as well as new adventures! Have a wonderful holiday season

This is awesome! Ahh I’m so excited to watch all your videos and future videos!

Love the video! Thank you for taking so much care and effort into your editing ❤❤❤

I rarely catch it when u first post. Today will be a good day 😊

It would be super cool to see you expand your travel guides across all of Japan! Of course more awesome videos like this one as you explore these cities would be amazing as well. 😊

Always a treat when you post! So, glad Japan is opening to travel 🧳 My first trip to Japan we flew into Osaka and saw nothing as we were whisked away to a friends house in Kyoto. I love ❤ the travel guide, so helpful. I know from living in India how exciting it is to have real pizza 🍕 and sour cream 😂 I sometimes want Indian style Chinese Food…One thing for me that is interesting is how different cultures have their own version of ethnic foods…but on that first trip to Japan I ate more French pastries because at the end of my friend’s street was a shop where the owner had studied in France 🇫🇷 and I’ve never had croissant 🥐 that good in my entire life. From that trip, I’ve always thought Japan is on another level with food.

I really think this may be my favorite video yet. You did amazing, Martina! All the work you put in this! It’s wonderful. ❤❤❤

Omagherd Martina!!!!!! My husband and I are traveling to Japan for the first time next year. I am so freaking excited to hear about your new guides

Seeing you look so happy and exploring Japan is so exciting. I am so glad that you are able to continue your travel dreams, wishing you a wonderful new year filled with new adventures. Keep being you, Martina.

I hope my comment makes sense, but I’ve been to Japan a couple of times and your videos capture the essence of it. The music, the vibe, etc. Great job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Love you Martina! I’ll always support you! ❤❤

I just love your stuff Martina. Keep doing what you're doing. Will save all of this and make sure I'll go visit Osaka next time in Japan!

Yayyy! Best way to start my Monday morning before work!!! I love these videos! It makes my day!

Love the city tours! Hope you guys venture to those cute little mountain towns scattered across Japan. Absolutely love the small-time vibes and little regional treats! You go gurrrrrrl.

I love your creativity and attention to detail while still keeping everything whimsical!

i had a very hectic , soul crushingly busy day at work, and watching Martina roams around Osaka brings a little bit of peace. thank you!

love watching your video highlighting hidden treasures in japan and can't wait for the next video!

Omg so excited for the travel guides!! I would love to see one around a hot springs holiday, in particular for those of us with tattoos. I’m always so nervous about figuring out if a hot spring has a private bath in room so I can go with tattoos or if they allow tattoos in the main bath. Happy Holidays Martina!
