Hello all,
I'm planning my visit to Japan together with my girlfriend. Roughtly, we had this in mind:
April 29th to May 5th in Kyoto or Osaka, with trips to Nara, Kibune and Himeji
May 5th to May 6th in Koya-San
May 6th to May 12th in Hiroshima with trips to Sandan-Kyo, Miyajima, Matsujama and cycling Shimanami Kando
May 13th to May 17th flying to Okinawa, flying back to Tokyo
Ending up in Tokyo to fly back home the 25th of May.
We got 2 questions about this itinerary: Regarding transportation and staying, would this itinerary make sense, or should we do anything differently (like staying in Osaka rather than Kyoto, or perhaps another place)
Secondly, what would be your advice regarding the Rail Pass. Does it make sense to buy one for the first two weeks for instance. I figured it would not make any sense just to buy one for Tokyo alone.
Thanks in advance!
