Shopping in Osaka and Kyoto
My question for this post, is there any shopping areas in Kyoto and Osaka I am missing out on. If there are any same same identical shopping malls/centres in my itinerary please let me know alternatives.
My interests are: anime/lolita/ and any good food
I have two weeks to spend in Osaka and Kyoto, however as I have a baby/toddler with me, I am unable to go on most day trips that take longer than an hour to get to – so locations that are baby friendly preferred.
