Hi All,
I am in the process of organising my second trip to Japan for October 2024 for 15 days. I have previously done the golden route previously + Hiroshima in 2019. I definitely want to go back to Tokyo/Osaka. I am skipping Kyoto and Hiroshima.
I am trying to keep my itinerary open as possible and just go with the flow and not be in a rush
Just wondering if I am missing something here or does this make logical sense to go this route?
Not sure if I am spending too much time in Takayama or Kanazawa
Thanks in Advance!
