#osaka #kyoto #japan
Hello everyone! It was time for us to make another trip abroad, and we managed to find a really good deal on flights and hotel to Osaka, Japan, so we decided to go there for 7 days to have a good time and to see our friends Chieko-san and Mieko-san that we met while travelling to Sapporo in January, 2023. In this video, we go over what we did and share some tips to avoid crowds while traveling to Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara.
