The distance from Kyoto to Osaka is about 35 miles (56 kilometers), so theyâre not too far from each other. With Daytrip you can turn the drive into an enriching experience as you're transported between two of the most famous cities in Japan.
Kyoto is home to numerous Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, gardens, and palaces. Osaka, known for having the friendliest people in Japan, is also renowned for its traditional cuisine.
As you jumpstart your journey from Kyoto, take time to explore the temples and shrines on your way out. Then as you travel towards Osaka, consider stopping in Nara, where Todaiji Temple and Nara Park are located. Further, along the way, Uji is another must-visit destination known for its landscapes and the renowned Byodoin Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Continuing the drive, head over to the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery, where you can learn about Japanese whiskey production in Yamazaki. If youâre looking for something more family-friendly then Hirakata Park, an amusement park, would be the perfect pitstop.
About Osaka
Going on a trip from Kyoto to Osaka is an experience that will treat your eyes to unforgettable memories. When you think of Japan, a country that welcomes millions of visitors every year, you think of things like cherry blossoms, sushi, okonomiyaki, Shibuya, and Mount Fuji.
Bright, playful, and flashy, Osaka is sometimes likened to a toned-down Tokyo, offering every tourist ample amusement with increased hospitality. This city is the backdrop for Japanese food, nightlife, and fun, but that doesnât overshadow its history and culture.
Since Osaka is closer to Kyoto than many other cities in the country, itâs only a short Shinkansen bullet train ride from the former capital. But, if youâre looking to soak in more experiences and slow travel then a road trip is also a fantastic choice.
While youâre in Osaka, donât miss the following attractions:
Osaka, the third-largest city in Japan, was a key port and commercial hub during the fifth century. It thrived during the Edo period from the early 17th century to the mid-19th century as the âNationâs Kitchenâ, as Osaka was the center for rice trading then.
Osakaâs modernization was spurred during the Meiji era from the end of the Edo period to the early 20th century. During World War II, the city was heavily bombed but stood up once more to become a metropolis revered globally for its economic prowess and rich cultural heritage.
From Kyoto to Osaka: travel tips
Before your Kyoto to Osaka adventure begins, it is strongly advised that you follow these travel tips to ensure that your stay in your destination will be worthwhile.
Pack appropriately
Osakaâs weather can be quite humid, especially during the summer months, so lightweight clothing is recommended. On top of that, packing an umbrella or raincoat is wise, as sudden showers are common. Donât forget to bring comfortable shoes for walking, too!
Plan your budget
The prices of goods in Osaka can be high, so it's wise to explore all options to save as much as possible. Osaka has affordable hostels where you can stay, such as Len Kyoto and Gojo Guest House. On the opposite end, the top luxury hotels in this city are The Ritz-Carlton and Conrad Osaka.
Trains are quiet places
When inside public transportation like trains, stay quiet and be respectful of others. This means no talking on the phone and always using headphones.
How to get from Kyoto to Osaka
As two of Japanâs largest and most important cities, separated by only a few miles, your options for getting from Kyoto to Osaka run the ground transportation gamut. Weâll break down the pros and cons of each below.
Kyoto to Osaka by Shinkansen (Japanese bullet train)
Traveling by train is one of the most popular ways to get from Kyoto to Osaka. There are direct trains that will bring you to Osaka in about 30 minutes. Thatâs really fast, but also to be expected since Osaka isnât too far from Kyoto.
If you have a hankering for bullet adjacent speed thereâs a faster option. You can take the Shinkansen bullet train, taking you to your destination in just roughly 15 minutes. The price of a one-way ticket is around $9. There are also shops and restaurants at the Osaka Shinkansen station.
Travelers say that your trip to Japan wonât count if you havenât tried riding their bullet trains.
Kyoto to Osaka by bus
Buses offer a budget-friendly alternative for traveling from Kyoto to Osaka. The ride takes approximately one hour and 30 minutes, depending on traffic. The price of a bus ticket starts at $7. However, this isnât the most convenient option especially if you come from the airport and have heavy luggage to haul around.
Kyoto to Osaka with Daytrip
If you donât want to tire yourself out from driving then book a private car transfer with Daytrip. This is a better alternative for those who want convenience, flexibility, and to do a bit of sightseeing.
Daytripâs cars are clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned. A local, English-speaking driver will bring you safely to your destination dropping you off with door-to-door service. Weâve already found the best places to visit on the way, so all you have to do is pick which sounds most interesting and youâve got yourself an unforgettable day!
Kyoto to Osaka by rental car
Osaka is closer to Kyoto than to other major cities in Japan. Although not as fast as a bullet train, the distance really isnât far, making driving a convenient option. This gives you the chance to explore stops along the way. Keep in mind that parking in Osaka can be expensive and challenging to find.
Things to do when you get to Osaka
In an ancient city renowned for both its contemporary culture and tradition, youâll find a bit of everything. Here are some of the best things to do when you get to Osaka:
Food and drink
As you head from Kyoto to Osaka, thereâs no better way to start your day than dipping right away into Osakaâs food paradise. Indulge in street food like takoyaki (octopus balls) and okonomiyaki (savory pancakes). Dotonbori is the heart of Osakaâs dining and nightlife and is the place to go for sushi and ramen. Osaka is where dreams âtempura-rilyâ come true.
### Nature and outdoors
Osakaâs outdoor experiences are a must-try. Visit Osaka Castle Park, where you can view the cherry blossoms in spring and have intimate picnics. You may also explore the waterfront at Osaka Bay and enjoy the expansive green spaces of Expo '70 Commemorative Park. For an active adventure, take a day tour to nearby Minoh Falls, a spot ideal for hiking.
### Tradition
Your friends whoâve visited Japan always post pictures online. Now itâs your turn. Pull out your camera and take snapshots of Sumiyoshi Taisha, one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines.
You can also take videos of the traditional boat processions and fireworks at the Tenjin Matsuri festival. And save some space if youâd like to record the age-old art of Bunrakuâ a traditional Japanese puppet theater that originated in Osaka.
### Wellness
Relaxation and wellness are integral to the Osaka experience. For a moment of calm and mindfulness, experience a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. This city also offers serene gardens like the Nakanoshima Park Rose Garden, perfect for a retreat amidst the hustle and bustle of life.
### Art and culture
Osaka is also a cultural hub with a diverse array of art and entertainment. The Osaka Museum of History and the Osaka National Museum of Art provide insights into the city's past and contemporary artistic expressions. The Namba district is home to numerous theaters and live music venues.
Last but not least, don't forget to visit the Umeda Sky Building and its Floating Garden Observatory.
When is the best time to visit Osaka?
Knowing the best time to visit before you go from Kyoto to Osaka will limit any mishaps along the way.
The ideal time to visit Osaka is from March to May and September to November. During these months, the weather is mild, with temperatures averaging between 60-75°F (15-24°C), making it perfect for exploring the city's outdoor attractions.
If you're planning to come for the Cherry Blossom Festival in the spring, Osaka is a perfect pairing with more traditional Kyoto.
A summer vacation in this city is also great, but remember this season can be hot and humid. Notable festivals to attend include the Daigaku Festival, Tenjin Matsuri, and Yodogawa Fireworks Festival.
