Hi there,

That looks like a really varied trip but may be a little bit tough! I have some advice on some of the timing that may make things a little more relaxed.

Day 2

This day will be very busy - consider removing the Kobe stop if you can - Hiroshima and Miyajima from Osaka is a big enough trip in 1 day I think.

Day 3

I would certainly recommend reducing this day. Naoshima really needs a stopover on the island if possible. Travel from Miyajima to Uno will take 3 hours, and then you will still need to factor in another 2 hours on the Uno-Naoshima ferry and transport from Naoshima to the museums you intend to visit.

As you are on a time budget, maybe consider skipping Naoshima here and visit the other items on your list instead?

Day 5

I suspect here also you will be better off spending the day at museums rather than both - At 6 hours return, Tazawako is a nice option, but you don't want to spend all your time on the train!

Day 6

Consider staying the night in Takayama. I think that's a far better choice than Nagoya, unless you have to go to Nagoya for some other reason. Also, less time spent on the train.

hope this help!

That's right! Well spotted!

If you have any other questions, just let me know.
