Ok, so would you stay in Kyoto or Osaka if you were to do 4 nights in that region? I see a link above for train schedules, but not sure where to buy them?
I was thinking the Park Hyatt in Tokyo for 3 nights, 25-28th. Then 2 nights at the Westin Kyoto 28-30th, 2 nights at the St Regis or Westin in Osaka, then 2 nights at the Grand Hyatt in Tokyo.
If we made Osaka our base for 4 nights, would it be way different than making Kyoto the base?
