Yes, that one is a flat out fact. Nara, Kyoto, Koya-san, Himeji, and tons of other places are very close by Osaka, no more than 1-2 hours by local trains. From Tokyo, those places are 3-4 hours by the VERY expensive bullet train, or 13-15 hours by local trains. (I know because I took local trains from Tokyo back to my home in Wakayama, and it took over 14 hours, and switching trains at least 6 times.)
