Nara is about an hour from Kyoto so we made a day trip there today. Though there is a massive number of UNESCO World Heritage sights as well as many national treasures, we were more interested in the polite deer! Since these are Japanese deer, they will bow when you bow. There are so many deer and they are so friendly.

After our day trip to Nara, we went back to Osaka to catch the sunset at the Umeda Sky Building. We went about 425 ft high where we saw the sun setting behind the mountains on the Osaka skyline.

We stayed until the evening and watched all the lights light up the city.

The view was beyond spectacular. We could not believe how big Osaka is, and how it sprawls in every direction for as far as the eye can see.

After this we had a big dinner and then went shopping at the Osaka Station.

At night we went to the onsen in our hotel to rejuvenate and relax.
