Where is a good/interesting place to go outside of (but not too far) from Osaka? Looking for an overnight trip [closed]
I will be in Osaka for 8 days and everywhere is booked out for the last weekend. Thought I might head out of the city so I am looking for something a little different and not ridiculously expensive - any ideas?
Ok, the revision. where would you like to have experienced/visited in the Kansei area/prefecture if you were only there for a weekend?

Go to Shirakawago. Not a short trip, train to Takayama then bus from there to Shirakawago, but it is a cool little village the steep pitched thatched roofs and historic minshukus. Totally different from Osaka.

How many days is enough in Osaka?
How many days do I need to set aside in Osaka? I recommend at least 5 days to see the must-see of the Kansai region, namely Osaka and Kyoto. The best is if you can stay at least 8 days, which will allow you to visit all the best highlights of Kansai: Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, Himeji and Hiroshima.Is Osaka or Kyoto better?
Kyoto is a more touristy destination and a cultural melting pot. This is why accommodation and food tend to be more expensive here. If you're on a budget, I highly recommend visiting Osaka. The city is a nice mix of culture, nightlife, and great food.Can you do a day trip from Tokyo to Osaka?

Answer 2
Kyoto has many places to visit, and is less than an hour by train from Osaka. There are many smaller hotels and ryokan there.
