Hi..
Below is my itinerary
13/12 - arrival at Osaka -Osaka one day trip including castle, shrine and nippombashi to feel the pop culture
14/12 - 3 days 2 nights @ kyoto. Itinerary includes as per http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3950.html whereby they cover eastern Kyoto full day and arashiyama full day. A half day trip to Kobe to savor Kobe beef.
17/12 - 3 days 2 nights @ Tokyo. Itinerary includes tsukiji fish market, shinjuku and shinbuya and akihabara, roppongi street. Gundam museum. Hakone and Fuji five lakes
21/12 - Last day - departure from Osaka airport.
In between, I actually have one more day to spend. Would you suggest for me to spend that additional day at Tokyo or kyoto? What should I visit then? If not both cities, Anywhere else you recommend? What about the famous snow monkey? Where is it and how to go about?
Also, should I purchase JR pass for my intended itinerary?
For each tourist attractions at each city, can you please arrange the place of interests so that I won't waste time in any round trips?
If you feel that I've missed out any must of places or any you recommend, please suggest.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks.
