Also depends on what you like. Street shopping like Dotonbori may take some people several hours to half a day to go around including makan.
You can also also go up Observation Deck in places like Umeda to check out the Osaka view. There are shrines, spa/ onsen and shopping districts that's worth checking out as well.
These are merely recommendations btw.

Roaming comes with a high price. You can either rent a portable WIFI or get a SIM card.

Optionally, if you're staying in AirBnB, check if the host will provide you with the portable WIFI. Some of the hosts do that, and you can save on Internet if they do.

is the winter in japan really dry? thought of buying and bring air humidifier there as i have really sensitive throat. any recommendation??

Its at mv maxmoney

1 week in kyoto to experience the lifestyle. But not sure how though. Maybe through airbnb family?

Any other way?

Sim is better. Can make calls

Last time we went Osaka with my 6yrs old boy. He enjoy Universal Studio so much, and at 6yrs old.. quite a number of rides he can take. And those are not kiddy kiddy themepark ride.. are all with action movie theme. Such as we get on a boat tour... suddenly a shark raised from the water (JAWS) and the tour guide fire at the shark that causes fire explosion on the water. My boy love it so much thou being so young. Another is a building on fire old movie, we were like standing in the scene looking at burning fire and explosion, broken pieces flying around (but don't hit us the audience standing spot.. but gets very near enough to scare you), with grand finale that the stage we standing suddenly fall down half feet. This.. my boy grabbing my feet tightly but we all enjoy the stunt. But not sure bout your kids can take it. Of coz, they have kiddy stuff like sesame street.

If yours are boys, bring them to Namba toys area (forget the name) near Dotonburi. There sell plenty of Gundam very cheaaap...

Thanks!

No worries, don't need to have 'great knowledge' of Japan to be TS it's just to kickstart the discussion.

Everyone's contribution on their experience and knowledge will be much welcomed. Will start up the new thread.
