A suggested route, made to be yours
Days 1–3Find your Kyoto

Start with a temple garden, explore the old streets and leave an afternoon open for tea, little shops and a second look at somewhere you loved.

Day 4A day in Nara

Add Nara’s temple heritage and green parkland to your route. Give the day its own space before continuing to Osaka.

Days 5–7Say yes to Osaka

Explore the castle grounds, then follow your appetite through lively neighbourhoods. Leave your final day flexible for a favourite place or a new discovery.

A little sensei advice

Keep your accommodation changes simple. Kyoto and Osaka make useful bases for exploring the wider Kansai region.
