Hi
I am traveling solo for the first time to and staying in Osaka from Oct. 15th - 22th.
This is my first solo trip and I am pretty excited (!) but would appreciate a little guidance.
I liked Osaka's food and night life offerings as well as being the midpoint between Nara, Kobe, and Kyoto.
I plan on spending a day at each place.
Question(s) 1:
I would like to know if it is necessary to stay in different hotel if I were to commute to Osaka -> Kyoto -> Kobe
Question 2:
As I said before, I am in Osaka mainly but also visiting Kyoto, Kobe, and Nara so do you suggest a JR pass?
It might make life easier if JR pass consists of one way stops since directions are one of my "need improvement" areas but if there is a large discrepancy between a JR pass and just buying tickets as I go then I can do that.
Question 3:
As this is a budget trip, do you think its possible to go to Tokyo and then Osaka via shinkansen/bus and then KIX?
Thanks!
No.If you are on tight budget, you try to stay in Osaka.
If you just plan to go Osaka, Nara and Kobe, just buy normal tickets.
If you want to go Tokyo in a 8 days trip.I think you schedule will be pretty tight.
