There’s a reason why the Asian island nation of Japan is such a popular tourist destination. It’s incredible in every sense of the word. The country is safe, clean, organized, and efficient despite its massive population. The food is out of this world and the culture is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. And depending on where you go, you can find yourself surrounded by hyper-futuristic technology and neon lights, traditional temples and thousand-year-old buildings, pristine natural environments, and just about everything in-between. Come along with me as I experience it all for the very first time!

After spending two amazing days in Kyoto, it was already time for me to leave. And while I wish I’d had more time to explore more of this beautiful and traditional city, there was a lot more to come on my trip through Japan, so I was also excited to arrive in my next city. Come along with me as I show you the cheapest way to travel from Kyoto to Osaka by train!
Kyoto and Osaka are very close to each other, and I was able to get a train ticket to Osaka for only 560 Yen, or $5.03 U.S. After buying it, I had to get to track 60 at Kyoto Station and make my way through the crowd to get onboard. Once onboard my train, I had to stay very quiet; in Japanese etiquette, it’s considered rude to talk loudly on public transportation. Always learn the etiquette and culture before traveling to a new country. No one wants to be that one rude, uninformed tourist!
After a smooth, 40-minute ride, I arrived in Osaka! My next order of business was finding out how to get to Dotonbori, the most popular area of the city and the place where I’d be staying. As I attempted to find my way to my next train, I made my way through huge crowds and passed lots of shops and restaurants. The walk to my platform was long, but I was able to save money by taking a train (230 Yen/$2.07 U.S.) instead of a taxi to my Airbnb; a taxi would have cost more than ten times that!
Four stops and six minutes later, I was where I needed to be. I passed by more restaurants and shops on my way out. These big, Japanese train stations are like cities in and of themselves! They’re so busy and there are so many things to see and do there. After exiting the station, I asked for directions to my Airbnb—never be afraid to ask for directions if you don’t know where to go—and set off to the place I’d call home for the next couple of days.
It took me a while to figure out how to get the key, used it to get to the elevator, and took it up to my unit, 1304. From my balcony, I had some incredible views of Osaka!
What a fun but intense journey! As you can see, traveling from Kyoto to Osaka is very easy and can be extremely inexpensive if you make the right choices. I hope this helps you out if you’re traveling through Japan on a budget! Speaking of travel experiences, I wasn’t content to stay in my Airbnb for the rest of the night. Instead, I headed out to explore the amazing world of Dotonbori street food…but that’s for another video!
I hope you enjoyed following my journey from Kyoto to Osaka! If you did, please give the video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below. Also, please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already and I will see you in the next travel food adventure!
