“How can I make my wife / girlfriend during the vacation? Where should I ask for a great date?”

Men get the most important, yet tiresome, question near the vacation.

We made this excellent plan for those of you and your loved one to enjoy the Kansai area of Japan!

You can enjoy

The best food in Kansai area!

The relaxing vacation, away from busy days!

The best food in Kansai area!

Do you know where to go if you want to eat something so delicious in Kansai area?

Yes, it is Osaka. But specifically it is DOTONBORI!

Doteni, Ramen, Takoyaki,  and more

For me, just thinking about Dotonbori makes me hungry…

I can feel the scent of sweet Miso for Doteni, the hot steam from Ramen at Ramen stands, and the sounds of cooking Takoyaki!

Well, maybe you do not know what Doteni, Ramen, and Takoyaki are. If it is so, you cannot miss those food when you come to Kansai area!

I always enjoy a bottle of beer or two with Takoyaki at a counter seat! They make such a great combination!

Or I highly recommend you two to eat Takoyaki at the different Takoyaki places in Dotonbori. They all try hard to make their own Takoyaki the best in the area. You will find the difference among their Takoyaki.

Now let’s talk about something sweet to eat.

My recommendation for a dessert in Dotonbori is,

“the second best melon bread ice cream”.

Creamy Ice cream is inside of the melon bread, which is crispy and sweet!

KOBE beef

Now, I recommend you to enjoy a little bit fancier place for dinner.

Restaurant “MONAMI” for KOBE beef

KOBE beef is a brand for beef inJapan, and you can enjoy steak and more for very reasonable price.

This place is also popular for famous comedians and acctors in Japan. You might encouter some famous Japanese people there.

What do you think of my plan for a day of the greatest food in Kansai area?

The relaxing vacation, away from busy days!

Where should you two go in Kansai area to be relaxed and enjoy the atomosphere of traditional Japan?

It is Kyoto!

Well, I have to say, Kyoto is full of people and it is kind of difficult to get relaxed since you have to spend all day in crowded temples and city center.

However, I know how to spend time in Kyoto without being tired of crowds and enjoy Japanese culture.

Here is the recommendation from the locals.

Gojo Bridge

The area near Gojo bridge is loved by the locals because there are not much tourists.

You can have a nice Japanese-style lunch with view of Kamo river.

After the lunch let’s start walking from the bridge to the bus stop in Nana jo street. Along Takase river, there is a small, but beautiful pass.

You can enjoy the time at a quiet cafe if you get tired by walking around. The area also has the Japanese old-good-days atomosphere, where you can easily forget about your busy everyday life.

Shoseien

After you enjoyed the walking in the old town. How about visiting a Japanese traditional garden?

There is a garden called “Shoseien” inside of the temple “Higashi Hongan ji”.

The garden is not so well known by tourists, and it is a very peaceful place. The garden is well planned and beautiful.

Onsen

Where to stay in Kyoto is also important for your relaxing trip. Near Arashiyama, there are lots of hotels with Onsen(Hot spring). The hotels are very traditional, and usually have an outdoor bath.

Enjoy the beautiful view and relaxing time at the Onsen, the hot spring in Arashiyama area is good for your skin. I am sure your wife/girlfriend will be happy about this!

Summary

This is all about the trips in Kansai area to enjoy great food and relaxing days.

Great food in Dotonbori!

Relaxing time in Kyoto!

I hope you and your loved one enjoy the holiday in Japan!
