Just wrapped up a solo adventu

Just wrapped up a solo adventure hopping between Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara — all on a student-friendly budget, and YES, trip.com made booking stress-free 🙌. Top highlights? Feeding wild deer at Nara Park, catching panoramic sunsets from Kyoto Tower, and a cozy stay at YAMATO by DOYANEN hotel in Osaka — so clean, so central! 🏨🌟

Top Spots to Visit:
- Kyoto Tower (721-1 Higashishiokoji-cho, Karasuma-dori Shichijo-sagaru, Kyoto 600-8216 Japan): Open daily 10:00–21:00. Entry ¥800. Head up for insane city views — go right before sundown for epic Insta-worthy shots.
- Nara Park (Nara, Japan): Open 24 hrs, all year. Wander freely and grab some deer snacks at a local stand; just watch your pockets, the deer are HUNGRY. 🦌
- YAMATO by DOYANEN (2 Chome-2-3, Osaka): Budget-friendly, spotless, and near mega-food/shopping hotspots like Dotonbori & Shinsekai. Shared showers but clean and rarely a wait.

Transport Hacks:
Getting around is breezy — grab an ICOCA card for seamless local trains and metros. All three cities are sweetly connected; trains from Osaka to Kyoto or Nara run often and are wallet-friendly!

Food Rec:
Don’t miss takoyaki and kushikatsu in Shinsekai (walkable from hotel). For breakfast, try local convenience stores for cheap bites on-the-go.

Quick tips:
- Book hotels near train stations for max flexibility.
- Pack light for easier train hopping.
- Most places take cash, so hit up ATMs in major stations.
