Can I combine Osaka and Kyoto in one Japan visa itinerary?

Yes — list each city on the correct dates with the hotel where you actually stay each night. Osaka and Kyoto are both in the Kansai region and easy to combine; just make sure the dates, activities, and accommodation column reflect where you sleep on each night.

Do I need a hotel address in my itinerary?

Yes — the accommodation column should include the hotel name, full address, and phone number. This lets the consulate confirm where you are staying each night, and it should match your hotel bookings.

Japan Visa Itinerary Sample — 5 Days (Osaka & Kyoto)

This is a sample 5-day Kansai plan covering Osaka and Kyoto that you can adapt to your real flights and hotels. It is meant as a starting point: the dates and hotels must match your actual bookings, and each day's activities should be specific — real places, not just "sightseeing." Use it to see the rhythm of a clean Schedule of Stay, then swap in your own details.

How to use this for your visa

Replace the day labels with your real dates and the placeholder hotels with the hotels you actually booked (name, full address, phone).
Keep activities specific — name the shrines, districts, and landmarks rather than writing "tourism."
Cover every day from arrival to departure, including the return flight day, with no blank gaps.
Make sure the dates and accommodation line up with your flight and hotel bookings so nothing contradicts.

Generate your Japan visa itinerary in the exact required format — with real hotel addresses filled in automatically.
