The Kansai region in Japan is part of the Golden Route. A tried and tested route for all those who are wishing to have a full experience of Japan in either Osaka, Kyoto, Nara or Uji.
Kansai literally means, Western Japan.
The region encapsulates the epitome of Japanese culture with each of the cities being within reach of each other.
One could have a Tea Ceremony in Kyoto, be able to have fun with the locals in Osaka, visit the Deers in Nara and then be able to explore the port city of Kobe and, providing your central base is in Shin-Osaka, you could travel to all destinations with ease.
If you’re unsure of what to do or you want to relive your memories in Japan, please do watch and enjoy Western Japan.

Your generous coffee will go to the presenter(s) on the video
