11 days itinerary from Osaka

Just wanted to clarify my question - what I wanted was an advice on what would be the best route to make the most of our trip.

Thanks again!

Hi Thomas,

The route as you've written above is how I would travel as well. Hiroshima is to the south, so it makes sense to visit it from Osaka, then Kyoto as it is on the way up north. Takayama is reached via Nagoya which is on the way from Kyoto - Tokyo, so it makes sense to visit it in between.

As for the JR Pass either the 7 or 14 day JR Pass would help you make savings. The best option would be to use a 7 day JR Pass and use it for travel from Osaka - Hiroshima - Kyoto - Takayama and be Tokyo on the day that it expires. Even with the 14 day JR Pass you would make good savings and the 14 day JR Pass would be a good option if you want some extra flexibility.

Does that help?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for that. I have actually purchased flights that will allow us to stay two days longer than we initially planned to make sure we will have enough time to see everything we want.

I will finalize the itinerary closer to the departure date and might have more questions later. Thank you very much for now!

Cheers,

Thomas
