For me its a nobrainer- stay in Kyoto and travel to Osaka. But its all about what you want out of your trip. Last time I stayed in Kyoto for 5 days and there was just not enough time to see and do. This fall we will be there for another 5 days and it seems yet again there is just not enough time. Plus, there is something to be said for losing yourself in the backstreets of Kyoto.
