Questions about this trip
Is 7 days enough for Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka?
Seven days covers the main sites across the three cities when you move between them by Shinkansen. Book train tickets online at least one week ahead for lower fares and reserved seats.
Do I need to book the Shinkansen in advance?
Reserve Shinkansen seats a few days ahead through the SmartEX app or at major stations. This guarantees seating during peak hours and saves money on reserved tickets.
When should I visit Fushimi Inari to avoid crowds?
Start at Fushimi Inari before 8 a.m. on weekdays. The early start lets you complete the main trail before tour groups arrive.
How do I get from Kyoto to Osaka?
Take the JR Special Rapid train from Kyoto Station to Osaka Station. The trip takes about 30 minutes and costs under 600 yen.
