Osaka & the Kansai region
A castle rebuilt in concrete but no less imposing for it, street food so central to the city's identity it has its own nickname, and Kyoto's temples close enough for a day trip whenever the shopping needs a break.
The best time to visit Osaka & the Kansai region is Mar–May, Oct–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (72°F). Local time there is 21:12 (UTC+9).
