Hi, would appreciate a quick itinerary check for this part of my trip in mid-May. Does this seem like a reasonable number of nights to spend at each area?
**Nagano — 2 nights (1.5 days)**
* day 1 (arriving from Tokyo in afternoon): check in hotel, eat, wander
* day 2: Snow Monkey Park (Jigokudani Yaen Koen) in morning (heard some people say afternoon is better though?), Togakushi Shrine, Zenko-ji
* day 3: check out and do **Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route**, transit to Toyama then take train to Kanazawa
**Kanazawa — 3 nights (2.5 days)**
* day 1: arrive in evening after Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, find dinner
* day 2: Omicho Market, Kazuemachi Chaya District, Higashi Chaya District
* day 3: Kenroku-en, Ishiura Shrine, Castle Park, Nagamachi District, Nishi Chaya District
* day 4: check out hotel, stop by Shirakawa-go, arrive in Takayama
**Takayama — 2 nights (1.5 days)**
* day 1: arrive from Shirakawa-go, find dinner
* day 2: Miyagawa and Jinya-Mae Morning Markets, Old Town, Hida Folk Village
* day 3: sleep in, head to Gero Onsen\* or Kyoto
\* We’re still deciding where to stay at a ryokan… either Gero, Takayama, Kanazawa or Nagano to replace one of our hotel nights. Any recommendations for a place with in-room kaiseki and in-room onsen?
Thank you!
