Help please! This was a last-minute decision to add a trip to Kansai before the holidays are over, but obviously, at the end of the year, a lot of things are going to be closed and crowded, so I really need some advice. Where are the places where we can go, what tourist places we should avoid and what is worth it? We are a family of five, but all adults and my parents are reaching their 50s, so preferably not too much activities but something that late teens/early 20s won't get bored with either.
We're arriving tomorrow on the 29th in Osaka by car (we'll be based in Nakadera), but check-in isn't until 3pm, so we need something to do in-between. Then we plan to visit Kyoto and Nara (the park for sure), so I would appreciate any recommendations for these places as well, even places around those three cities would be welcomed. Then we check out on the 1st at 10am, so possibly we can pass by somewhere briefly on our way back to Tokyo.
I would really appreciate the help!
