8.8/10 Excellent! (1,007 reviews)

Great clean hotel and staff super attentive. Area is quiet with multiple convenience stores and 3 close train stations to navigate different sections of Osaka. The Keihan express lines are a quick option up to Kyoto. Only knock is the area does get busy with office workers at 9am so trains during that time are busy. Definitely stay there again when visiting Osaka since I like walking along the water and relaxing at the rose garden.

Todaiji Temple

4.5/5(393 reviews)

You can learn about the history of Nara when you stop by Todaiji Temple. While in this culturally rich area, find time to visit its temples.

Nara's near proximity to the cities of Kyoto and Osaka makes it an easy side trip in anyone's Kansai itinerary. And although most people come to Nara for the roaming (but tame) deers and the historical temples, Nara park offers a lot of hidden gems that I would recommend devoting a whole day to enjoy a trip to Japan's first permanent capital.
.
Take for example, Yoshikien Garden: it is a mere walking distance away from Todaiji temple and yet it is almost always missed by tourists. Foreign travelers can avail of the free entrance just by showing their passports. The moss garden
