how old will your parents be?

If they are quite old then maybe the bus route in osaka will be better for their legs as some subway entrance/exit is strictly stairs about 30-40 flights thou some have elevators

There is a possibility of long walks just to get out of the subway station to the nearest exit of a attraction like osaka castle. My personal experience will be Tanimachi Yonchōme Station. I have to walk up a flight of stairs to get out of the subway level, walk 300-400 meter to the NHK exit then another 600 meter to the gate of the castle

Not sure if your parents could take those kinds of pacing 

Not a prob for them I think.
Just not sure if they used to no proper room to sleep lol.
They are at their 50s now.

What main attractions you would suggest in Osaka?
I am planning to go Aquarium, Universal Studio (if got budget), Osaka castle, and the street where they sell electronics.

Hi, would like to check with all the experts here as I am bit confused with the transportation systems in Japan.

I have checked the transport from Koyasan to Kiyomizu-Gojo through Hyperdia and one of most preferred routes with 3 transfer is as per the pictures shown.

I am a bit confused at the Tennoji station which is still on the Osaka Loop Line but it said the arrival track is 11 and departure track 12. So do I need to transfer at this station? It still the same train that ride through Kobayashi right?

just asking, normally when we book rooms via Agoda, the person name printed on the booking slip will be in the format "Firstname" then "Lastname" (eg. Kit Siang Lim)

but for chinese, our formal name as per IC / passport follows the Surname, Given name format (Lim Kit Siang)

would hotels / guest houses accept this?  I been using this (Kit Siang Lim) format in local, SG and HK before, all with no problems, however I am paranoid about Japanese's perfectionist nature, do they accept this?

no problem, both oso can

infact japanese ppl name works very much like us
eg Utada Hikaru is the actual name
but since caucasion like to comply to their standard they name her "Hikaru, Utada"
if u notice the comma, it is actually to identified the surname  (not 2person name )
