Hi all, planning a trip to Osaka in early June.
a- is the weather would be hotter than comfort for travel?
B-the air ticket for adult is via Mas is around 1700rm. Would it get much cheaper during Marta fair? I rule out AA as flight time is afternoon

Hi- i will be travelling to Osaka later this week- with my 2 young boys. Yup- agreed it is too many places to visit- and too little time.

Itineray as follow -
Day 1- arrival at 7am- Proceed to Rinku JPO. Check to Swissotel @ Namba late afternoon and hang around Dotombori in the evening.

Day 2- Osaka Castle, River Cruise, Umeda Floating Gargen.

Day 3- Kyoto Kinkakuji Temple, Nishiki Market, Kiyomizudera Temple

Day 4- Universal Studio- whole day.

Day 5 -Kuromon Ichiba Market, Minoo park,Nippombashi Den-den Town, May be a hot spring/spa.

Day 6- Osaka Aquarium Kaikuyan, Tempozan Ferris Wheel and Market, Santa Maria Cruise

The schedule really seems to be light- any idea to fill in more activities?
1. I got a few more specific question- there are a few river cruise- any recommendation is worth to take?
2. Kani Dorako- it is worth going? i've made booking but some comment say it is nothing special.
3. Spa world- seems to be in door, commercialized type in artificial environment. Any good nature spa to recommend?

Many thanks in advance.

Wah- really ka.
Comment damn blunt- but point taken as enlightenment.
Can share which are the stupid places which should strike out?

Will take the this evening to re-plan. Probably Day 5 will travel to either Nara Or Kobe then.

Ok...
did a quick check on both Nara and Kobe. Kobe seems like a big city, but dun really see much attractions wo. Seems like Kawasaki world and a few mountains. Did i miss anything?

Probably i will make
Day 5- Morning - Nara Park, Todaiji Temple and Isuien Garden
Afternoon Tempozan area ( aquarium, muzium, ferris wheel)

Just back from Japan ago.
yes, took the advice and went to Nara, The deer park and Tadoaji Temple is awesome.
Both my kid and mother in-law like it. Spend the last day morning there and adjourned to Kaiyukan Aquarium. Deer feeding was of course the highlight

Aquarium was awesome for the kids too- with seal and dolphin feeding (try to go around 2-3pm). There is penguin too. sea creatures and fishes were lively too, and in large quantity.

On the other hand, Universal studio was rather disappointing if compared to one in Singapore. Most ride are outdated, Backdraft? Jaws? is more than 10 year old movie! Jurasic Park suppose to be fun, but close on the day.
Spent over Rm 2000 for ticket alone for 4 adults+2 kids, with the express pass.
The ending parade was excellent though... got displace of light and music.

We had a day in Kyoto, mistake was to start the journey late- reach Arashimaya there like 11.00am when it started to be warm. It was long walk and we take the river boat ride- and only manage to go to the "gold temple" before it got dark and everyone exhausted. Yes- make sense to spend a night there but again, packing luggage and changing hotel wasn''t an option for us

Many thanks to everyone giving advise for the trip.
Had good memory to the place, and respect the people for their discipline and cleanliness.
it is so clean that they took care of their trash, and trash bin is really a rare sight.
