Thanks @kurumipan for sharing :folded_hands:t2:

Wacaron sounds really unique! I love trying fusion sweets, and this Japanese twist on macarons looks too good to miss. Osaka surely has some amazing dessert options.

I wonder why you don’t provide any link to the places in Google Maps, or a link to your reviews of the places, @kurumipan .
Did you visit them?
I am asking because I can’t find any contribution in Maps in your profile related to the places in your topic.
I mean, Connect is the community of the Local Guides, we share here our experience about the places in Google Maps. A generalist post, copied or sourced from the web or with an AI is totally useless here.
Can you kindly explain?

Hi @ErmesT, thank you for your feedback.
I’d like to clarify that I actually visited these places myself. As far as I know, adding a Google Maps link is not a strict rule, and I’ve also seen many posts without it.

Local Guides Connect has a wide range of topics, not only about reviews but also photography, culture, travel stories, and meet-ups.
That’s why I believed my post was also within the community’s spirit.

Well, @kurumipan
According to the guidelines that I’m sure you have read:

In Connect we want to share real experiences, about location that we know personally and where we have contributed.
That’s why I searched for your contributions on the locations, without finding them. But for sure I simply missed them, and I am sure you have a link to share.

Thank you

Hi @ErmesT,
Thank you for your explanation. I understand that adding Google Maps links is recommended because it helps others easily find the location.

However, not every experience or memory is always published as a review on Google Maps at the same time. Many Local Guides do not write reviews for every single place immediately after visiting, and sometimes we want to share past experiences or memorable spots on Connect even if they do not yet have a review on Maps.

The photos and experiences I shared are all from places I personally visited. Following your feedback, I have now uploaded these past photos as reviews on Google Maps, so they can also be verified there.

I may not always publish a review right after visiting, but all of my contributions are based on real experiences.
I hope this clarifies my contributions, and I truly appreciate your guidance.
