Best Osaka & Nara Itinerary: Top Things to Do in Japan’s Kansai Region

34°N

While Osaka may lack Tokyo’s dazzling glamour or Kyoto’s timeless elegance, it captivates with its authentic urban pulse. Strolling beneath Shinsaibashi’s neon glow, surrounded by the energetic cries of street vendors, I found myself enveloped in the vibrant rhythm of everyday Japanese life.

Even Nara’s famous deer appeared unusually tranquil, their gentle presence adding to the city’s serene charm.
