This is the last leg of the Osaka-Kyoto Itinerary<\/strong>, you may want some other information:<\/p>\n

Fushimi Inari, Kyoto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

DAY 9<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

8am. Check out of your hotel in Kyoto but leave your luggage with the concierge. Take a train to Fushimi Inari Shrine<\/strong><\/a>, famous of its thousands of torii gates. The shrine is dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice. There are many fox statues as foxes are messengers for Inari.<\/p>\n

Do not feel obligated to go all the way to the top – the whole journey would take 3 hours. Instead, just walk halfway – maybe not even half, just walk 10 to 15 minutes in and there is an exit. Take that exit.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Vermillion Cafe, a view of lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you’re hungry, this exit leads you to Vermillion Cafe<\/a><\/strong>, which has great coffee and matcha. It overlooks a lake so people like to sit at the balconey.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Located at Fushimi-Inari-Taisha Shrine, Vermillion Cafe has an awesome matcha. Address: 5-31 Fukakusa-kaidoguchi-cho, Fushimi-ku; 9am – 5pm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you’re not hungry yet, head over Nishiki market<\/strong><\/a> and have your sashimi over rice.<\/p>\n

12pm – Collect your luggage and take a train to your Osaka<\/strong> hotel. (We stayed at Hotel Gracery Osaka Namba<\/a> and Hotel Il Cuore Namba Osaka<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

4pm – Go to Spa World<\/strong><\/a>, which is a mega huge sauna and spa. It’s an experience to have so many naked bodies in a space.<\/p>\n

\"\"
A view of Tsutenkaku from Shinsekai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

6pm – Then walk to the next structure, Tsutenkaku<\/strong><\/a> known as the Eiffel Tower of Osaka. There is an observatory that offers a view of Osaka. The original structure was built in 1912, and at 65 metres, it was the tallest building in Asia, shocking people at that time.<\/p>\n

7pm – Explore Shinsekai,\u00a0<\/strong>a colourful district that developed before the war but neglected for decades after.\u00a0 There is an exciting energy here. Have your dinner here: there are many kushikatsu<\/strong> (fried skewers) restaurants here to choose from.<\/p>\n

DAY 10<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

9am. Day trip to Nara<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>Take a train from Osaka to Nara (about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the type of train you take).<\/p>\n

There is really only one thing to see here: the Nara Deer Park. Pay attention now because Google maps doesn’t give good directions here.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Nara Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How to Get to Nara Deer Park<\/strong>: When you arrive at Nara Station, go one floor down to Bus Terminal. Wait at the Bus Stand #16 for a mini-bus called “Gurutto.” It will all the way to another terminal, which is a huge carpark at Todaiji Temple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Wait here, Bus Stand #16, for the bus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here, play with the deers as you explore Todaiji<\/strong><\/a>, the most significant temple in Nara, built in 752. It houses one of the biggest Buddha statue in Japan at 15 metres.<\/p>\n

A word of caution: the deers are very aggressive and they bite. They will bite small children.<\/p>\n

12pm – Have lunch here. If you have patience to queue, try Kamameshi Shizuka Kouen-ten<\/strong>, steamed rice in a pot. It’s extremely popular and the queue is long.<\/p>\n

After lunch, reverse-engineer your route back to your hotel in Osaka. Rest in the hotel for a while.<\/p>\n

6pm – Visit Umeda Sky Building<\/strong><\/a> to have a panoramic view of Osaka. You may want to time it around sunset so you get the benefit of seeing the city in daylight and in starlight.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Dotonbori is south of Dotonbori canel and Shinsaibashi-suji shopping street is north of the canel. The two areas are joined by Ebisu bridge where you can see the famous Gilco Man poster.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

7.30pm – Have dinner at Dotonbori<\/a> <\/strong>and then — this is the moment you’re waiting for — shop at 24-hour, 7-storey Don Quijote at Dotonbori<\/strong>.\u00a0 Remember to get your tax refund on the spot.<\/p>\n

DAY 11<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

More shopping! On your way to the airport (bring your luggage), drop by Rinku Premium Outlet<\/strong><\/a> which is just 5-minute train ride from Kansai International Airport. Here, you’ll find Adidas, Bally, Banana Republic, Coach, Cole Haan, Furla, G-Star, Hugo Boss, Jimmy Choo, Jun, Kate Spade, Nike, Onitsuka Tiger, Pandora, Ralph Lauren, Ferragamo, Under Armour, etc.<\/p>\n
