Hi all. Would be going to Japan in November this year for the second time. I would really appreciate your comments for my itinerary - hotels has not been booked yet, so I'm open to ideas/changes! My friend and I are big foodies, so would love if we could have any recommendations. Also, we are on a very tight budget, so we are purchasing the 7 days JR pass only.
We will be based in Osaka. And probably Hiroshima for a night. And in Tokyo for rest of the nights.
Day 1 - fly into Kansai Airport
Day 2 - Osaka
Day 3 - Universal Studios Japan
Day 4 - Nara (Activate JR pass)
Day 5 - Kyoto
Day 6 - Kobe, Himeji
Day 7 - Hiroshima
Day 8 - Tokyo
Day 9 - Nikko
Day 10 - ? (Not too sure if we should do a day trip from tokyo, or stay one day more in Kansai region?) (Last day of JR Pass)
Day 11 - Disneyland
Day 12 - Hakone (we intend to buy the Hakone free pass)
Day 13 - Tokyo
Day 14 - Tokyo
I have stayed almost a week in Kyoto last year so I covered most of the main attractions previously. So I don't intend on spending much time there on this trip.
