Dear JR experts,
My family of 4 adults is planning to visit as follows:
Nights of: 22-25 Dec . Arrive in Osaka airport, travel to Kyoto right away. Spend 4nights.
Nights of 26 and 27 Dec. Travel to visit Shirakawa-go. We are unsure whether it is necessary to spend one or two nights and where? Between Kanazawa or Takayama.
Night of 28 Dec. travel to Hiroshima. Spend one night here?
Night of 29 Dec. travel to Nagasaki. Spend one night here or go back to Hiroshima to spend another night?
Could you suggest alternative. another nice town between Hiroshima and Nagasaki where we can spend two nights to be the base to make the day trips to both places.
Nights of 30,31 and 1 Jan. spend 3 nights in Fukuoka. Fly off from Fukuoka.
