Fly into Kansai and never touch a long-distance train: everything here is within ninety minutes of Osaka. Two Osaka days for the food and the castle, a Nara day for the Great Buddha and the deer, three Kyoto days that cover the east, the west and Fushimi, and a night in a temple on Koyasan with morning prayers — the part guests remember most. Private car throughout, so temple towns and mountain roads are simple.
