1 more week till I fly off to Osaka. While this is not my first trip there, I'm a bit anxious about my trip planning. I have attached my itinerary in the spoiler below. Is it too packed? Travelling in a group of 4, gf and I with our mums and we are aiming for a relatively chill pace for this trip.
Have settled acco, booked pocket wifi (roaming man) but I need inputs regarding whether a Kansai Thru Pass is worth it. Also, since I'll be travelling by AA and am arriving quite late does the NAMBA OCAT still run?
Another thing I need help with is recommendations on must eat places in Kyoto/Osaka/Nara. Any suggestions on must-not-miss places?
