I visited Japan last year staying 10 days and visiting - Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Nagano. I liked it so much I am back again this year, this time with my girlfriend. It's her first time.
We have 14 days - she would like to do Hiroshima,Tokyo and and Kyoto. I really want to explore a little further afield and leave Honshu. We are visiting right at the start of October.
I was thinking either going south and seeing Nagasaki and some of Kyushu. The other tempting option is going north to Nikko, Sendai, and up Hakadate/Mori - and hopefully see the Autumn leaves. Grateful for your advice and suggestions on exploring a little further afield, and whether either either of the routes suggested above would work.
