Visiting Nara from Osaka ～truly the must-see place in Japan～
Nara: the must-see place in Japan. Nara was the capital of ancient Japan before Kyoto became the capital. In the Nara era, Buddhism played an important role in stabilizing the country. So you can see many big old temples there. Many of these are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites and are concentrated in a small area. So, if you have only one free day to spend in the Kansai area, I highly recommend visiting Nara.

Osaka, Spiritual Tour in Temple Town on Hilltop
Osaka dates back to the 6th century, when a national temple was constructed on a hilltop jutting out into the sea. In the Middle Ages, court nobles believed the “Pure Land of Buddha” was beyond the setting sun. They would watch the sunset from the hilltop. In the early 20th century, locals constructed a so-called “Paradise on Earth” at the foot of the hill, which was called “New World,” centered on the symbol tower named “Lead to Heaven Tower”

Osaka, Footsteps of Pop Culture Creators
At the beginning of the 20th century, an entrepreneur built a new 25-kilometer railway line stretching north from Osaka. He built a big theater for the Girls' Review at the northern end, housing estates in the middle, and a department store at the southern end, all to transport commuters and visitors. This groundbreaking idea has inspired youth, and a Manga Museum, a Cup Noodles Museum, and a Nintendo Store have opened one after another along the line, entertaining the children who visit.

Local Cousin Hopping in Osaka Gourmet City
Osaka has flourished as a merchant city since the 17th century, thanks to an extensive network of waterways connecting it to other parts of Japan via the Seto Inland Sea. Feudal lords built the warehouses for rice transported by ship. Merchants opened markets on rivers and canals, and bought and sold local specialty products. Since then, Osaka has been considered “the Nation’s Kitchen”. The interaction between shopkeepers and customers fostered Osaka's rich food culture and friendly spirit.

“Wonderful Experiences with Makoto”
Makoto met us at our hotel prompt and on time. He was prepared with a lot of information regarding our planned destinations with the history. He was so well prepared and willing to share his vast knowledge of Japan, it was a real joy to spend the day with him. His personality really shined while speaking of the history of the castles, shrines and even the Matcha ice cream! We enjoyed 3 days with Makoto even during the unusual heat wave in August. Thank you Makoto for the wonderful experiences in Japan!
