Hi, I am going to Japan in November and below is my tentative itinerary. Initially my plan is without Hokkaido, after add in Hokkaido I am not sure the plan is still workable not or too rush in time, please feel free to give your opinion.
Day 1: Reach Kansai airport at 4pm (stay Osaka) Visit Dotonbori, Sinsaibashi
Day 2: morning few hours tour ard Osaka town then proceed to kyoto (stay kyoto)
Day 3: kyoto (stay kyoto)
Day 4: kyoto - Hiroshima - Miyamaji (stay kyoto)
Day 5: Morning train to Takayama - Shirawago (stay takayama)
Day 6: Morning train to Mt Fuji (stay at hakone)
Day 7: Tokyo (stay tokyo) visit shinjuku or ueno
Day 8: Morning train to Hokkaido (stay sapporo)
Day 9: Hokkaido
Day 10: Hokkaido
Day 11: Hokkaido to Tokyo (by flight)
Day 12: Tokyo
Day 13: Tokyo
Day 14: Tokyo (night flight 11.55pm back home)
Here are my questions:
1. Is my itinerary too pack? Is few hours enough for Osaka? (I only spent few hours on Day 1 and Day 2)
2. For Kyoto - is it enough time to visit all those famous temple, gion area and arashiyama? shd I add in one more day for kyoto?
3. I should take 7 day pass which start use on Day 4 and end on Day 10 therefore I need to fly back from hokkaido to tokyo or shall I take 14 days pass?
4. should I take out Hokkaido from my itinerary? or cut one day off in Tokyo so that I can spent more time in other places?
5. please feel free to amend my itinerary.
Many thanks,
Alicia
