Hey everyone!
We’re a couple, both 26, planning our first trip to Japan and wanted some feedback on our Osaka itinerary. We ll be staying around namba. we were wondering if it would be possible to add an extra activity, like maybe somewhere near the coast or a visit to Kobe on the way back from Himeji. Do you think that would work?
Here’s the plan so far:
Monday
- Arrival around 1 PM
- Namba
- Namba Yasaka Shrine
- Kuromon Ichiba Market (+shopping at Don Quijote & Ghibli Store)
- Afternoon/evening: Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade & Amerikamura
- & Dotonbori
Tuesday
- Himeji Castle
- Koko-en Garden
- Return to Osaka
- Den Den Town & Shinsekai (this evening or the next one)
- Abeno Harukas
Wednesday – Nara
- Todaiji Temple & Great Buddha
- Nara Park
- Kasuga Taisha Shrine
- Return to Osaka
- Hozenji Yokocho
Thursday
- Osaka Castle & Nishinomaru Garden
- osaka museum?
- Umeda Sky Building
- around 3 pm: Usj
Friday – Free day
- Catch up on anything left + shopping
- 3pm: airport
So, what do you think? Are we missing any must-see spots in Osaka? Any tips? what would you change or add?
Thanks a lot!
