Hello there,
My boyfriend and I will be visiting Japan in October for 17 days, and I was wondering if someone could have a look at our itinerary? We're excited about soaking up the culture (museums, gardens, temples, onsen!), spending time outdoors, shopping and eating great food. Would love to know if we have the mix in our itinerary more or less right.
Here's our plan so far:
2-5 Oct – Tokyo (4 nights, incl. day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, maybe Hakone too)
6-10 Oct – Kyoto (5 nights, including a day trip to Nara)
11 Oct – Kinosaki (1 night)
12 Oct – Osaka (1 night)
13 Oct – Hiroshima (1 night)
14 Oct – Osaka (1 night), or maybe go direct to Koyasan
15 Oct – Koyasan (1 night)
16-19 Oct – Tokyo again (3 nights)
I would love any help on this!
Should we spend one less night in Tokyo and take an extra night on one of our one-night stays?
Is it worth us getting a 14-day JR pass, and could we use that for our Tokyo day trips too?
Thank you!
