REGION
Kansai guides
Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Kansai Airport: the transfers and the tickets that decide how much of the region you actually see.
Kyoto in four days: routing a city with no bus pass
The ¥700 bus 1-day pass is gone and the replacement costs ¥1,100, so the routing changes — four days with fares, temple prices and the 2026 autumn night viewings.
Osaka in five days: the pass decides the order
The Osaka Amazing Pass decides the order of your days, Universal Studios needs a day of its own, and Kyoto is 29 minutes and ¥580 away — day by day, with what each day costs.
Dotonbori: what to eat in Osaka's loudest street, and what it costs
Takoyaki at ¥600 for six, okonomiyaki cooked at your table, kushikatsu with one drink each, and crab at ¥5,000 and up — the posted hours, the prices, and the rules that catch first-timers.
Suica, PASMO or ICOCA: which IC card to actually buy in 2026
Every card rides the same network, so the choice is really about where you buy it, whether it goes on your phone, and where you can get your money back.
Narita vs Haneda vs Kansai: which airport lands you closest to your hotel
Haneda is 11 minutes from Shinagawa; Narita is an hour and ¥3,140; Kansai is the direct line to Kyoto. Real door-to-door numbers, and which one to book.
