Still building my itinerary for 16 days in JP in early July.
Will be staying in Tokyo for 5 days then moving on to Kyoto/Osaka for 6 days then back to Tokyo for 5 days.
Stuck on whether to stay in Kyoto 3 days then Osaka 3 days or stay in Osaka for 6 and make day trip to Kyoto for 1 day to see the fushimi inari shrine, monkey park, and maybe walk around Gion. Going with two others and one of them is more interested in bar hopping and nightlife from my understanding. Building out my itinerary, find it difficult to fill out days for Kyoto. Def want to be in Osaka for 7/7 Tanabata. Def want to visit Kobe (steakhouses), Himeji, and Nara and from my understanding, Osaka is closer to them all.
Thoughts?
