This was the first time I planned a trip by myself and although I spent a few days at home and at a nearby cafe with my iPad and a Kansai region guide book, I ended up planning things on a day-to-day basis (i.e. each day I would sit down and plan where to go, how to get there for the next day).
I really don’t like being anal about traveling. I really prefer choosing an overall area to look around and walk about and explore rather than picking restaurants and sights to see beforehand.
I planned a laid-back itinerary for the first day. Main plans are successfully getting to our rented apartment (via Air Bnb), having a light snack, and then heading to Namba to look around.
We Arrived at Kansai International Airport at approximately 1pm, and because I purchased Kansai Thru Passes before I left for Japan, we immediately got on the Nankai Rapito Beta with a added fee of 510 yen, and transferred twice to get to our destination, Nishinagahori.
I highly recommend buying passes before leaving (If you live in Korea, they sell passes online and you can have them delivered beforehand), because it can be rather stressful to sort out buying passes when you first arrive. I chose to buy 3-day Kansai passes because we can use it when we visit Kobe and when we change locations to Kyoto on the fourth day of our trip. The best thing about the Kansai Thru pass is that you don’t have to use it consecutively. If you’re traveling Monday through Friday and want to use the pass on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the pass will automatically figure it out and you don’t have to do anything.
