Hello! First time travelling during Golden week, thinking if I should give Kawaguchiko a skip and swap dates between Osaka and Kyoto to avoid going to Kyoto during Golden week. Can anyone advice on that?
Also, all websites only allow me to buy train tickets 1 month before travel dates, any advice on how to book and reserve seats in advance? Thank you!
