Cómo llegar de Kioto a Osaka

Se dice que no hay dos ciudades que representen mejor la región de Kansai que Kioto y Osaka, y llegar de una a otra es muy fácil gracias a los populares trenes exprés limitados que recorren la zona.

Kyoto is often seen as the city that embodies traditional Japan. Home to 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the former capital of Japan up until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Every street in Kyoto is teeming with stories and history, and picturesque scenes that are often representative of Japan exist just a short walk from modern urbanscapes.

Osaka is the third most populous city in Japan, with a lively environment and rich culture to reflect that. Wander around the old-school streets of Shinsekai and Dotonbori and eat some delicious street food like takoyaki. Then, take a look at the historical sites nestled within the urban landscape, such as the ancient Mozu Tombs, and check out the 2025 World Fair that will be held in Osaka by visiting the Tower of the Sun, designed by Taro Okamoto for the last World Fair to be held in Osaka back in 1985!

Kyoto, the historic capital of Japan, is a culturally vibrant city brimming with history and home to 17 distinct UNESCO Heritage Sites. Kyoto is situated in the Kansai region, a culturally varied area of Japan renowned for its colorful locations. For visitors taking the Japan Golden Route, Kyoto is frequently the next stop after Tokyo.

The temple itself and the ascent to Kyomizudera are two of Kyoto's most famous sights, and both are worthwhile excursions. Explore a little off the usual route; the hilly lanes leading up to the temple are lined with quaint stores and eateries! Then, Ginkakuji and Kinkakuji, the "gold and silver temples," serve as potent representations of Kyoto's lengthy past.

Osaka, the most populous city in Kansai and the third most populous city in all of Japan, is well-known for its energetic atmosphere. delicious street cuisine and an eccentric set of locals. Tokyo is generally seen as Osaka's partner city—or rival, depending on who you ask. It is also often cited as a partner city to Kyoto, the other city said to represent Kansai that is also very nearby. 

The vibrant central Osaka areas of Umeda, Namba, and Dotonbori are a favorite destination for tourists due to their distinctive Japanese urban environment and plenty of diverse businesses. Dotonbori's running Glico Man, commonly regarded as the Osaka symbol, is a popular photo location overlooking the area's renowned bridge. You won't have to go far to find a more subdued mood if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city center because Honmachi is a more tranquil district that is still close to it.
