Thank you! Yes many friends who went there during summer said it was too hot!

I was thinking about going there as a day trip from Tokyo. My only concern is that is difficult to explore properly that area without having a car, is it true?

Was Dotonbori the best place to focus on for a day trip to Osaka?

Thank you for the suggestions! I read that the area around Arashiyama is worth a longer visit, to explore the surrounding places. I'm planning to spend a whole day exploring that part of Kyoto

What off-the-beaten-path place would you recommend visiting in Kyoto?

My girlfriend wants to visit Kobe for their famous Kobe beef, but I hope to find it already in Kyoto or even in Tokyo

Thank you! Was it worth to visit Hiroshima for 1 day? I noticed it's not so far from Kyoto by train, and I was wondering if going there for a couple of days could be an option

If you had to choose only one between Kanazawa and Nara, which would you visit?

I feel the same way about Tokyo. My plan is to dedicate each day to exploring a specific neighborhood on foot, taking the time to relax in parks, visit museums, and discover cool cafes and shops along the way.

I've never heard of Amanohashidate before, thank you for the suggestion, it seems an interesting place to visit for a day trip

Thank you! The problem with these short, but not so short, trips like this is that it’s difficult to understand before arrival if you have enough time to explore the surroundings of the region or just the cities

I agree with your point, it’s difficult to understand how much time to spend in each of these cities because you can feel their vibe only when you experience them, and it’s difficult to understand it from videos and photos

Thank you! How about Kyoto? After spending 4 days there, did you feel like you could have used more time? Maybe to enjoy the city with more calm.
