I was visiting Japan for my first time last year and did a pretty standard itinerary for a first time (Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Osaka etc.). Now I’m wondering if it’s worth it to combine a planned South Korea trip with one week in Japan and visit other parts of the country. Thinking about the area around Kanazawa and Takayama but I’m not sure what else I should considering nearby.
Do you have any recommendation what to add nearby or if I should consider continuing further up north like Niigata, Akita etc. Is furthermore a car heavily recommended or is train here as very feasible option as well?
