Osaka & Nara Travelogue – A 1 Night 2 Days Course Where Tradition and City Coexist

🇯🇵 Osaka & Nara Travelogue – A 1 Night 2 Days Course Where Tradition and City Coexist ✨

Deer, Shopping, and a Trip Full of Japanese Vibes

Hello! This time, I’m sharing my experience visiting Osaka and Nara, the representative cities of Japan’s Kansai region.
These two cities, where tradition and modernity coexist, are perfect for a one-day or 1 night 2 days itinerary!

🦌 Day 1 – Nara Welcomes You with Deer and Temples

📍 [Nara Park & Todai-ji Temple]
After arriving at the airport, take the JR or Kintetsu line to Nara!
The first place I visited was Nara Park. Cute deer roam freely here, and if you buy deer crackers (shika senbei), you can feed them 🦌

✔️ Tip: The deer are more aggressive than you might think, so be careful! They might bite your bag or clothes 😅
Right next to it is **Todai-ji Temple**, the world’s largest wooden building, and the **huge Great Buddha statue (Daibutsu)** inside is truly overwhelming. The serene and peaceful atmosphere is perfect for healing!

🌆 Day 2 – Lively Osaka City Tour

📍 Dotonbori & Shinsaibashi
When you think of Osaka, the Glico sign comes to mind!
It looks even prettier at night with the neon lights ✨ Shinsaibashi is a shopping street with everything from drugstores to luxury brands, so if you love shopping, hours will fly by.

✔️ Recommended foods: Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, Kanidoraku (specializing in crab dishes)

🛍️ Rinku Town Outlet (Shopping Time Before Returning!)
You can’t miss the Rinku Premium Outlets right next to Kansai Airport!
There are many brands and the prices are reasonable, making it perfect for last-minute shopping. The best part is you can shop until just before heading to the airport👍
