Hi,
A friend and I have booked a last minute trip to Japan and China starting on the 17th of December.
Key dates:
- 17 Dec: land in Tokyo (evening)
- 18 Dec - 20 Dec: ???
- 21 Dec - 26 Dec: China (from Osaka, returning to Osaka)
- 27 Dec - 29 Dec: ???
- 30 Dec - 1 Jan: Tokyo for New Years
- 2 Jan - 7 Jan: ???
- 8 Jan - 10 Jan: Tokyo (departing on the 10th)
I would greatly appreciate any advice on how best to spend the rest of our time in Japan. Given this is our fist visit to Japan, we would like to see:
- Mt. Fuji (from Kawaguchiko)
- Osaka
- Kyoto
- Hiroshima & Miyajima
- Nagano (if possible)
Please suggest some day trips that we can work into this itinerary too - we are happy to use Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto as bases to do day trips out of.
I was also wondering what the most practical JR Pass option would be. I'm thinking of the 21 day pass, given we will likely use it both before and after the China side trip.
Thanks!
