Osaka is Japan’s snack-loving, nightlife-heavy city. It works best as part of a bigger Kansai or Honshu route, but it absolutely earns its own stop.

See Japan your way: this 3 week Japan itinerary takes you from Kyushu to Honshu to Hokkaido. It's realistic, scenic, and perfect for first-timers or repeat visitors.

This is the second part of our 7-day Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass) experience (You can find the first part here 👉 https://youtu.be/ClhQy_5udKA). From Nara we headed to Kyoto where Ryan got particularly pissed off at all of the crowds, but managed to find some solitude and peace. From there, we headed up to the lesser-known Kanazawa, where we got an up close in personal look at Pokemon and ate some of the cheapest seafood of our lives 🐟. 

This was all before we realized the JR Pass screwed us over (or did we misread the fine print?) and we had to get down to Tokyo as fast as humanly possible! 

Enjoy beautiful people ❤️
