During our trip to Kyoto and Osaka, although we deviated from our original itinerary, we ended up discovering and experiencing more. So much so that every night upon returning to the hotel, I was exhausted and did not catch up with any writing after Day Four.
I discovered a good therapy. As the rooms we stayed in had a long bath, and both hotels provided aromatherapy bath salts, I made full use of this. This simple indulgence helped soothe the body from the daily eight to 11 kilometres we put in.
On the fifth day of our trip, we departed from Kyoto with good memories for Osaka, taking the Kintetsu Line instead of the JR Haruka. Upon arriving in Osaka by train, we took the subway and made our way to the hotel. After checking in and wasting no time, we headed out to explore Osaka.
Another day of discovery! Osaka felt very different from Kyoto. With more people, noise, and traffic, it took a while to adjust. Welcome to the busy big city!
