Hello there,

Most of the route looks good, planning around a festival can indeed a little hard :)

What I would recommend looking at is if you could fit the travel period of Tokyo - Matsumoto [....] Kyoto - Tokyo in a 14 day period, this would allow you to make very good savings. At the same time, the price difference between the 14 and 21 day JR Pass is not that big and a 21 day JR Pass would work too.

Personally I'd go for Gero Onsen if choosing between Gero and Gifu, as it has a little more to do and it's easy to travel from there to Takayama.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi again!

Yes! Himeji makes for a great and easy stop in between! It is a great visit as it just finished the restoration.

Ise can also be visited from Kyoto :)
