Hello everyone,
This subreddit has helped us a lot with putting the itinerary together, it’s a great source of information and tips about Japan overall.
We will be travelling to Japan end of March 2023 and beginning of April 2023 and I would like some confirmation if our itinerary is possible and if we missed any good spots.
**Itinerary:**
* Day 1: Arriving to Kyoto
* Kyoto Tower walk and Kyoto Station for food
* Day 2: Day trip to Osaka in the morning
* Osaka Castle
* Dotonburi street
* Shinsekai street
* Tsukenkaku Tower
* Kuromon Market
* Day 3: Day trip to Arashyama
* Monkey Park
* Bamboo groove
* Togetsukyo bridge
* Day 4: Kyoto
* Kiyomizu-Dera
* Eikan-Do temple/Park
* Gion district (Optional: Geisha Performance)
* Nishiki Market
* Day 5: Day trip to Nara
* Toda-ji Temple
* Nara Park
* Day 6: Travelling and staying in Hiroshima in the morning

* Temple Route
* Day 7: Daytrip to Miyahuma Island

* Harajuku Street
* Avatar Robot Cafe
* Day 12: Tokyo
* Imperial Palace
* Chidorigafuchi Park (maybe boat rental)
* Tokyo Tower
* Optional: Akihabara Electric Town
* Day 13: Tokyo
* Golden Gai
* Shinjuku Kabukicho
* Piss Alley
* Day 14: Tokyo
* Shimokitazawa
* Day 15: Tokyo
* This is a free day, we were thinking Nikko or Onsen
**Questions:**
* We were thinking to switch one of the day trips from Kyoto for “”Fushimi Inari Taisha, Tofuku-ji, Kyoto Tower, Kyoto Station, Maruyama Park” in Kyoto. Does it worth it?
* Are there any activities that are must when we are visiting any of those cities?
* Also, I would appreciate any restaurant recommendation for Kyoto, Tokyo and Hiroshima. I’ve seen that most restaurants have queues instead of reservations. Is this generally how they operate?
* Is the schedule light or overloaded?
* Does the JR pass worth it? We crunched the numbers and it doesn’t seem so, I am wondering if we are missing anything.
Thank you in advance!
