I want to travel from Tokyo to Hiroshima but with an overnight stop en route to break up the journey. Can you recommend some where? I will be stopping at Osaka for a few days on the way back to Tokyo.
Stop off for Hiroshima
Hi there,
There are many good stops on the way, some direct and some that add a little side trip.
Here are 3 I would recommend.
1.) Kyoto. The cultural and traditional capital of Japan. Any visitor to Japan should include a visit here at least once. There is much to see and do. To name some highlights, Kiyomizudera, Golden Pavillion, Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Uji and many more.
2.) Himeji, the great stop for the castle. It is considered the most beautiful castle in Japan and the closeby Kokoen Garden is worth a visit too.
3.) Hakone. This Hakone region is very nice to view Fuji and enjoy yourself it. It is pretty close to Tokyo and would not really break up your travel but I think it is worth considering nevertheless.
Enjoy your trip!
Daniel
