We did basically everything and we not only came all the way from Osaka but we also stopped in at our hotel on the way.<br /><br /><br />On the other hand if your budget allows it might be nice to stay on the island as they do have some unique accomodation, such as Benesse House which gives you 24 access to the museum.<br /><br />Don't decide to stay overnight due to concerns about time constrains though.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021523188017590960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791892523641624801.post-83107846785339909272017-09-12T22:42:15.490+10:002017-09-12T22:42:15.490+10:00Hi Eric,

There is some good information here: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3306.html<br /><br />Personally when I was in Nagoya temples were not on the agenda but if you're not going to any others or have a particular interest it would be good to visit I think.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021523188017590960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791892523641624801.post-48358327104238524102017-08-10T06:34:56.743+10:002017-08-10T06:34:56.743+10:00Hi Eric, excellent post!

Thanks for the tips. I heard a temple called Osu Kannon and I couldn't find much information about it since I cant read and search in Japanese, the only post I found is this one, https://www.43km.co/published_trips/5656534c-af40-446e-b306-66644dfbd1cd, do you think it is good to visit? like worth the time and money?

So I guess 4-5 hours is a good estimate of the time we took. <br /><br />I think you can do it as a day trip from Kyoto if you leave early. It will take 2-3 hours to get to Uno and then a 15-20min ferry. It will be a long day but definitely possible.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021523188017590960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791892523641624801.post-58201728464280831412017-06-28T01:26:17.783+10:002017-06-28T01:26:17.783+10:00Hi Eric!

My son had two wonderful years on JET based in a set of rural schools near to Kagoshima. We visited in 2015.<br />He came back after two years to study for a MSc and now he is doing further study into global higher education with Japan as his focus so will be based in Hiroshima University for a year in 2018. You can bet that we will visit again.<br />Anyway good luck to you and Kate with your JET work, and I look forward to reading more about your travels.
