Travel Period: 2024.12.20 ~ 2024.12.27

Kyoto Kiyomizu Temple - Arashiyama - Tenryu-ji - Nishiki Market - Universal Studios Osaka - Umeda Sky Building - Osaka Castle - Dotonbori - Tsutenkaku Tower - Kuromon Market

Accommodation
Kyoto: Stay Sakura Kiyomizu Gojo Hotel, 2 nights
Osaka: Airbnb near Dotonbori, 5 nights

Recommended Spots

1. Tenryu-ji: Japanese countryside river + tourist spot + atmosphere + the kindness of the owner of Takara Sushi
2. Kiyomizu Temple: If you go to Kyoto and don’t visit Kiyomizu, it’s like you didn’t go to Kyoto ㅜ Go early in the morning, or else the temple will be crowded with people
2. Universal Studios: If you like amusement parks, just go no matter what. Ride the Flying Dinosaur twice as soon as it opens
3. Osaka Castle: No need to go inside Osaka Castle, just take a walk in the garden
4. Nishiki and Kuromon Markets: The markets are chaotic but still worth visiting. Seafood viewing itself is fun, and be sure to try the fruit skewers (Yubabime melon)

Recommended Food

1. Momiji: Donpeiyaki is not greasy and delicious. The wait is long, so it’s recommended to line up before opening
2. Harbs Cake: The crepe cake was delicious like nothing I’ve ever tasted before, and the pasta was equally delicious. A cafe good enough to go for a meal
3. Kuromon Market: The 3-piece tuna sushi for 2100 yen was life-changing sushi... The 400 yen melon skewer was tastier than the 3000 yen parfait. At that time, they also sold a 500 yen mini egg eel rice bowl, which was also insanely good
4. Rojiiura Shokudo Machunaga: A life-changing Western food restaurant located in Umeda. The omelet rice and steamed clams are all delicious. Please go

Precautions

1. Umeda Sky Building
Unlike Tokyo Shibuya Sky, it’s not an open space but a donut shape with an open center and narrow, so they limit the number of people allowed up. Therefore, the waiting time is very long, and the night view is not great because the lights are weak at night. If you go, make sure to visit quickly before sunset
