Osaka > (Hiroshima?) > Nagasaki recommendation

Hi!

I’ve previously posted my planned itinerary for 3 weeks in Japan later this year (see here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/19fm6ay/itinerary\_21\_days\_in\_japan\_seoul\_itinerary\_check/](https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/19fm6ay/itinerary_21_days_in_japan_seoul_itinerary_check/)).

We are pretty set on doing that itinerary now and have started booking early to get the best deals. We are, however, a bit unsure about the part of our trip between 3rd September and 5th September. Currently, this is what we were thinking:

​

>**3rd September (Tuesday)**
>
>Day activities: Tenjinbashi-suji, Shitennoji Temple, Kaiyukan Aquarium
>
>Evening activities: Ura Namba / Dotonbori
>
>Night in Osaka (near Kita ward)

​

>**4th September (Wednesday)**
>
>Luggage forwarding to Nagasaki (keeping small luggages with us)
>
>Travel to Hiroshima in the morning
>
>Day activities in Hiroshima: Peace Memorial Park, Atomic Bomb Dome
>
>Boat travel to Mijayima in the afternoon
>
>Day activities in Mijayima: Itsukushima Shrine
>
>Evening activities: Omotesando Arcade
>
>Night in Mijayima

​

>**5th September (Thursday)**
>
>Day activities: Momijidani Park, Senjokaku Pavilion
>
>Travel to Nagasaki in the afternoon
>
>Day activities in Nagasaki: Nagasaki Peace Park
>
>Evening activities: Mount Inasa
>
>Night in Nagasaki

​

We feel like the Hiroshima/Miyajima part of the itinerary might be a bit too much to fit in and a lot to do in that little amount of time.

We were wondering if anyone had any insights / could give some opinions on a few questions we are asking ourselves with my partner:

1. Do you think the above is feasible? If so, would you say staying in Hiroshima instead of Miyajama in the evening might be better for travelling the next day?
2. **Or**, would staying an extra night in Osaka make more sense to enjoy the city for longer? (considering we would be in Osaka from 2nd September in the AM)
3. **Or**, would you recommend to travel directly to Nagasaki and spend an extra day there or in Fukuoka?
4. **Or**, is there anything else between Osaka and Nagasaki that would be a good place to get to?

Thanks in advance for your precious help!
