Kyoto and Osaka Japan Trip!

📍Address: Osaka - Dotonbori, Nakazakicho, Tsutenkaku Kyoto - Yasaka Shrine, Tenryuji Temple, Gion, Kiyomizu Temple Kyoto and Osaka Trip! Experience the retro vibe while enjoying the bustling modern city! Starting with Kyoto! The weather in Kyoto during May is absolutely delightful. Although the temperature can be a bit high at noon, Japan's dry climate makes it very comfortable—no stuffiness at all. This allows you to fully enjoy both physically and mentally while visiting various attractions. All the temples in Kyoto are spacious and beautiful, with excellent ventilation. Sitting in the temple and enjoying the natural breeze is a unique experience. As for food, I'm not an expert, but you must try Omi beef at least once! 💰Average daily expense: 30,000 yen should be sufficient. Accommodation: Kyoto Ala Hotel Next, Osaka! I took the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Osaka, and it only took 15 minutes! Super fast and convenient. After arriving at Shin-Osaka, transferring to Umeda is free. If you're in a hurry, I highly recommend using the Shinkansen—it’s a speedy train with a slight centrifugal force that feels thrilling! Osaka offers so much to buy. Nakazakicho is a paradise for vintage lovers, Umeda has a variety of shopping options, Hep Five shopping mall and Ferris wheel (not recommended for those afraid of heights), and Dotonbori is a must-visit hotspot! If that’s not enough, there are plenty of shopping streets to explore. Osaka also has a vibrant nightlife, offering activities from morning till night. Couples will especially enjoy a shopping trip in Osaka! 💰Average daily expense: Osaka is a shopping haven, especially for those looking to buy clothes and vintage items. Personally, I spent around 80,000 yen in two days because I bought too many clothes. Accommodation: Hankyu Osaka Richebourg Hotel I recommend spending 7-9 days in Osaka and Kyoto to avoid a tight and exhausting schedule. Taking more time at each location allows for a more leisurely experience. If time permits, you can also visit Nara for a day—it’s highly recommended. Wishing everyone a pleasant journey, safe travels, and good health!
