1/ 27/4: from Ho Chi Minh City to Kansai Airport
2/ 28/4: arrived Kansai airport, go to Kyoto and stay there 4 days. go to Osaka for visiting Osaka castle in the morning and return kyoto. Go to Osaka for diner and visit Shinbashai, return Kyoto.
3/ 29/4/: go to Osaka to visit Osaka Aquarium, back to Kyoto in the afternoon. In the evening go to Osaka to visit Umeda Sky Building and explore OSaka by night, then return Kyoto.
4/ 30/4: visit Kiyomizudera, Golden Pavilion in Kyoto
5/ 1/5: visit Himeji Castle and Kokoen garden.
6/ 2/5: go to Hakone and stay 1 night in a ryokan. Purchase Hakone Free pass
7/ 3/5: Circle the region with five different means of transport (train, cablecar, ropeway, boat and bus) by HAkone Free Pass. visit Owakudani . In the evening go to Tokyo and stay there for 3 nights.
8/ 4/5: Visit the imperial palace, Sensoji Temple, Tokyo Skytree, Akihabara
9/ 5/5: Visit Disneysea and Ginza District.
10/ 6/5: Go to Narita airport to fly back to Vietnam.
My questions:
1/ Is the above itinerary ok and suitable for traveling with babies? How if we go to the 5th station of Fuji Mount with babies?
2/ Should we buy the JR pass 7 days and Hakone Free pass?
3/ Should we stay 4 nights in Kyoto or Osaka or split 2 days of each city? As we have babies, we are afraid of check-in check-out many times. But if Osaka is worth to stay, we will consider.
4/ Could you please recommend me hotel booking website offering best rate (Japanese website is ok).
5/ Which area should we stay in each city? Our budget is below 70 USD/room/night.
Many thanks if you could help us clear above questions.
