2 Weeks in Japan: Osaka, Kyoto & Tokyo
Alexandria Ugarte
Two week guide to Japan: Osaka->Kyoto->Tokyo
This itinerary is designed to hit the major highlights of Japan and visits the top three cities of Japan for first time visitors. To get the most out of your travel time I suggest flying into Osaka and out of Tokyo. You can also of course flip this itinerary around and start in Tokyo and end in Osaka.
This trip only has you riding the Shinkansen (the bullet train) one time, between Kyoto and Tokyo, and thus does not require you to purchase a JR Rail pass.

Details
Your flight will most likely arrive late in the evening. Take either the JR Haruka or a Limousine Bus into the city, then catch a short taxi to your hotel. The GO app is like Uber for Taxis in Japan. Check into your hotel and if it's too late for dinner head to your nearest convenience store: 7-11, Family Mart, or Lawsons, for all sorts of great food, snack, and drink options. Japan is known for their convenience stores that put American ones to shame. Many people report traveling to Japan and happily eating most of their meals from convenience stores and don’t worry about hot water for ramen, your hotel room will be stocked with a kettle. Get some rest, you’ll need it.
