Overnight in Osaka

[Mylisa]

We are cruising to Japan in March 2025 and the ship will be overnighting in Osaka.

 

I thought that this would be a good port to get off the ship and sleep at a traditional place where we can experience the culture.

 

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?  Recommendations for tours also helpful.  If so, names of places and/or websites would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

If you want to spend a night away from the ship, we would strongly recommend just going to Kyoto (easily done on the train) and book yourself a nice Ryokan.   There is more than enough to keep anyone busy in Kyoto for 2 days (we spent a week in that city) and plenty of decent restaurants in various price ranges.

I was hoping to find a guide who would pick us up at the ship in Osaka and take us to Kyoto touring Osaka on the way to Kyoto.  Spending the night in Ryokan and touring Kyoto the next day returning to the ship.

 

Anyone know a guide or tour that can do this for us?
