My partner and I are planning 2 weeks in japan. I'm still trying to get my head around rail lines, distances, passes. If anyone can give advice on the following itinerary, especially any problems we'd encounter travelling on anything other than a jr pass, would be appreciated.
- Arrive in Japan, Narita airport, 10am - 1/2 day exploring Shinjuku (where we'd stay)
- Full day Tokyo
- Day trip Nikko
- Train to Yokohama (we have a friend here, possible overnight stay, and maybe visit Hakone?)
- Train to Kyoto
- Full day Kyoto
- Day trip Nara
- Full day Kyoto
- Overnight stay at rural ryokan (nth of Kyoto, mountains/river?)
- Train to Hiroshima - peace park/museum
- Ferry to Miyajima (overnight stay at ryokan)
- Train to Osaka
13.Osaka to Koyasan (overnight stay buddhist temple) - Koyasan to Tokyo - 1/2 day shopping
- Fly out early from Narita Airport
Sound OK?
