Planning for an Osaka / Kyoto Trip (Part 1)

I am in the early stages of planning for a trip to Osaka / Kyoto in 2012.  Yup, its one year away - in fact, more than a year, as I'm planning for an autumn trip.  This is not my first trip to Osaka, but it will be my first trip there bringing along my young ones.

With the Fukushima incident still ongoing, I felt there might be a risk bringing small children to Tokyo (even if its a perceived one).  For peace of mind, I felt Osaka was a fairly good compromise.  I'd be able to visit Universal Studios Japan too.

I thought I'd share my planning process, on the off chance that someone might find it useful.  I'll also be sharing the reasons why I made certain decisions, as the reasons why some choices appealed to me may not to you.  When the facts and information start piling up, I'll probably compile those into a document and share it on this space.

I typically compile my information off the web and travel books, and I'll provide links and credit wherever possible - these would form valuable sources of information for you too.

Lastly, I do my traveling in Japan by foot / bus / train, i.e. no driving.  So, all my plans would revolve around that constrain.
