Hello, My friends and I are coming to japan in early February and staying for 20 Days. After spending 6 days in Tokyo, 1 day in Hakone, 2 Days in Kyoto, and 2 days in Osaka we are unsure how our trip should progress. I will be exploring multiple options and any input is welcome! This post is in regards to how much time should be placed in certain cities, the recent developments in Kanazawa and weather.
To be clear we have 7 days remaining.
Option 1:
Day 1: travel from osaka to himeji castle and then continue to hiroshima later that day
Day 2: Full day in Hiroshima; WW2 memorial, itskushima, peace memorial
Day 3: Take the scenic train from Hiroshima to kanazawa
Day 4: Full day in Kanazawa: kenrokuen, ninjadera, higashi chayam kanazawa castle, nagamachi, omicho market etc
Day 5: train to nagano
Day 6: full day in nagano: explore snow monkey park, explore the Olympic village
Day 7: return to tokyo day before a flight
​
Option 2:
considering we only had 2 days in osaka and kyoto each we might want to spend another day there? ( input would be appreciated). More time in hiroshima? Skip Hiroshima? overall just looking for opinions on how YOU would spend the last 7 days. Thank you !
