Follow Along! If you're planning a trip to Osaka, Japan, pack your bags and follow this itinerary! To get to Osaka, you'll need to fly into Kansai International Airport (KIX), the main airport in the region, located about 1.5 hours from Osaka by train. For getting into the city, it's recommended to take the JR Haruka train to Namba, Shin-Osaka, or Kyoto Station. For first-time visitors, it's suggested to stay in Osaka for two nights, two nights in Kyoto, and take a day trip to Nara. If you have extra time, you can also visit Kobe and other nearby prefectures. Itinerary: Day 1: Explore the Namba area, enjoy Japanese-style yakiniku (grilled meat) with a must-try Wagyu beef, visit Osaka Castle, and end the day at Dotonbori, a shopping street. Day 2: Visit the Osaka Aquarium or head to Universal Studios Japan, with the Harry Potter-themed area being a highlight. Day 3: Take a trip to Nara and snap photos with hundreds of deer. Day 4: Travel to Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital. If you're a matcha lover, visit Uji for authentic green tea experiences. Day 5: Explore Kyoto, visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and the Fushimi Inari Shrine with its iconic fox statues. On the sixth day, if you have free time, consider visiting Kobe, a relaxing port city.
