Discover Details:
White Heron Castle
Kyoto Railway Museum
Take your time in the outdoor area—there are some beautiful displays and photo ops. I rushed through it but ended up wishing I had stayed longer to appreciate everything!
Try visiting on a weekday, preferably Tuesday or Wednesday, to avoid the bigger crowds. I found it way more enjoyable with less waiting time for exhibits!
Osaka Museum of Housing and Living
National Museum of Kyoto
Plan to visit on a weekday, especially in the morning around 10 AM. The crowd was definitely thinner, and I could enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed.
Don't miss the special exhibitions! I accidentally skipped one that had some incredible artifacts. Check ahead for what's on display during your visit.
Kyoto International Manga Museum
i suggest setting aside at least 2-3 hours. i thought i’d whip through in an hour, but i got lost in so many amazing titles. time flies!
Osaka History Museum
I think it's better to visit late afternoon, around 3 PM... The crowds were much lighter, so I could take my time without feeling rushed
My advice is to check the schedule for any special exhibitions or events before you go. I stumbled upon a cool display that was only there briefly!
i recommend getting the audio guide; it really adds depth to the exhibits and is worth the small extra fee. made my visit so much more informative!
Osaka Science Museum
Kids Plaza Osaka
My advice is to bring a packed lunch. The food options in the cafe can be a bit pricey and you can save some cash by munching on your own snacks while the kids play
National Museum of Contemporary Art
National Museum of Art in Osaka
My advice is to bring a snack or two. The café there is kinda pricey and the seating is limited. I ended up eating at a convenience store nearby instead, which was way better.
