I woudln't say going to oaka to get away from it all hehe. but none the less it is still one of my fav places in japan. GO KANSAI REGION. I'm not a big fan of KANTO region. Not sure why, maybe because my gf is a kansai girl
hehe but yeah. As for places. Onsens are the shiznit. Great place to relax and basically wind down.
