Sightseeing in/around Osaka

Osaka Castle is one of Japan's most famous castles, and played a major role in the unification of Japan during the sixteenth century. It is deep-rooted in the minds of citizens of Osaka as the symbol of Osaka, as is the "Taiko-han" (founder of Osaka Castle, Hideyoshi Toyotomi) Osaka Castle

Kyoto, Kinkakuji Formerly the imperial capital of Japan, Kyoto is now the capital of Kyoto Prefecture, as well as a major part of the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area. It is the storehouse of Japan’s traditional culture and the stage on which much of Japanese history was played out. With 17 Unesco World Heritage sites, more than 1600 Buddhist temples and over 400 Shintō shrines, Kyoto is also one of the world’s most culturally rich cities.

Nara occupies the northern part of Nara Prefecture, directly bordering Kyoto Prefecture. Eight temples, shrines and ruins, together with Kasugayama Primeval Forest, collectively form the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara". Nara
