Itinerary
3 days / 2 nights,
or 4 days / 3 nights.
One main place a day. Time to travel, and time to come back to the house.
3 days / 2 nights
A show at night, Osaka the next day.
-
Day 1
Drop bags at 15:00, then walk to the dome. If there is no show, a stroll around it is enough. For Namba at night, the train from Bentencho via Hommachi and the Midosuji Line is a little under 20 minutes of ride time, not including changes or waits. Come back the same way — it is not a walk from Namba.
-
Day 2
USJ day. JR from Bentencho to Nishikujo, then the Yumesaki Line to Universal City. About 15 minutes between stations; that does not include the walk from the house or waiting to change. You can start a wash when you get back.
-
Day 3
Breakfast at the house, then check-out by 11:00. Add a night if you also want the aquarium.
