Our trip from Kyoto to Nara to Osaka with Daiki was great! He picked us up promptly at our hotel and first went to Nara so we could visit the giant Buddha and the deer park. He knew so much about the history of the temple and park and also showed us several of the really interesting temples in the area. Being able to feed and interact with the deer was such fun! We then drove to see the beautiful Osaka Castle park and several unique districts in the city. We had a really good dinner in a typical Osaka restaurant before he drove us back to our Kyoto hotel. Daiki was very knowledgeable, and we could tell he really loves showing people his beautiful country!
