See the Highlights of Nara & Osaka in One day
Enjoy a full day and see the highlights of Nara and Osaka on the same day. We meet at Kyoto Station where we start by visiting the Isetan department store gourmet floor where we stock up on some tasty treats from the huge selection of food on offer. From there we take our lunch on the train and enjoy the deliciousness while being whisked away to Nara station.
Nara is a special city with a rich history and some amazing sights that shouldn’t be missed. The largest wooden building in the world which houses the biggest bronze Buddha in the world at Todaiji is reason enough to visit. Not to mention the thousands of sacred deer roaming the city. You couldn’t visit Japan without at least a short trip to see the best of what Nara has to offer.
As we want to show you the best of both Nara and Osaka in the same day, when we arrive in Nara will start by going straight to the Todaiji Temple. We will pass the friendly deer all greeting us looking for snacks before we get to the main hall. Marvel at the beauty of the massive structure housing this amazing and huge buddha. After that we take a stroll through the park and get some great pics at this peaceful place before checking out the old town. After a visit there we will start our way back to the train station in time for the express train to Osaka.
Arriving in Osaka at the Namba station we will be right in the heart of the city. This area of the city has some of the most famous streets and neighborhoods with a wealth of shopping, pop culture and street food on offer. Osaka is know for it’s colorful playfulness and you can see it from the fashion of the locals to the huge billboards and advertisements on the outside of the buildings. First I will take you on a stroll through the vibrant “Amemura” district or American village which is a bit like Osaka’s take on Harajuku. Then we will stroll through the bustling street of Shinsaibashi and get a pic at the famous Glico neon sign before checking out Dontonburi and it’s fun and crazy streets. At this point we can set up camp at a cafe or bar and let those who want to shop or take pictures have some free time to do so while whoever wants to rest a bit with a beverage can just chill.
Now the city will be starting to get dark so we can get those great pics of the neon lights. From here we take you to Osaka station near Umeda station where we can either get a bite to eat or help you find your way back to Kyoto. It is a full day but a great chance to see the best of both cities for sure. And you have the option of staying in Osaka for more nighttime fun or heading back to Kyoto at the conclusion of the tour. Enjoy the best of two cities in one day with Kyoto Fun.
