Welcome to another post of helping a reader travel! Here are some travel tips and suggestions generated from reader comments on things to do in Kyoto, Japan.
A few weeks ago, a reader wrote in asking for Japan suggestions. I was able to cover an itinerary throughout Japan, but wanted to hit on many of the major tourist spots/cities within the country as well. This will include: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and any others that are requested.
Here are some things I am sure readers will want suggestions on:
- Where to stay
- How many days to stay
- Sites to see
- Recommended restaurants
- Anything else you might think is valuable!
If you’ve ever been to Japan, specifically Osaka, let’s help out reader Jeffrey and I am sure many other interested readers! The goal of this weekly post is to help readers get a top of travel advice from the thousands of Deals We Like readers.
Also, if you have any upcoming travel where you need some help, feel free to email me at dealswelike@gmail.com to be a featured “Help a Reader Travel†Monday special.

Visited Osaka a year or so ago. A couple of things we liked:
1. Pick a “home base” and travel to the neighboring cities. Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara are very close to each other so there’s not need to waste time checking in/checking out. You could probably get a good feel of the tri- city area in 4-5 days. More time would be better.
2. Kyoto was obviously good for temples. Fushimi Inari-taisha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fushimi_Inari-taisha) was our favorite but it can turn into a long uphill hike. Wear comfortable shoes.
3. Nara is also fun but I wouldn’t spend more than 1 day there. Feeding the deer was fun.
4. We were based at the St. Regis Osaka. Awesome service, great room, and was a great deal with cash + points (cat 5).
