Itinery for 1 month travel through Japan (mostly the golden route)

Hi all,

I am travelling to Japan from mid October to mid November. I have a pretty solid itinery I think and I’ve tried my best to coordinate with the least amount of travelling possible! I am however having a bit of a conundrum on what to do for my last few days (noting that I want to be in Fukuoka for the Sumo which starts on the 10th of November. Any other feedback or tips is of course really appreciated!

Ishould mention I’ve been to Japan befored (Tokyo and Hakone for \~12 days)

**19th – 22nd October (3 nights)** – Tokyo

**22nd – 25th October (3 nights)** – Fuji Five Lakes area

**25th October** – travel to Matsumoto (2.5 hours)

**25th – 26th October** – Matsumoto (I’m here to have a look around then the next day embark on a trek through the Japanese alps)

**26th – 29th October (3 night hike)** – From Mt. Tsubakuro Trail head, 3 day hike doing the ‘Panorama Ginza trail, modified to end up in Kamikochi

**29th October** – Travel from Kamokochi to Takayama (1.5 hours)
**29th – 31st October (2 nights)** – Takayama

**31st October** – Travel from Takayama to Shirakawa-go for day trip (1.5hr travel), then end up in Kanazawa (2 hr trip)

**31st October – 3rd November (3 nights)** – Kanazawa

**3rd November** – travel from Kanazawa to Kyoto (2hrs)

**3rd – 8th November (5 nights)** – Kyoto – I plan to do to universal studios for a day whilst I’m in the area (including halloween horror nights if the dates line up)

*AT THIS POINT I’M NOT SURE WHERE TO GO NEXT!? But roughly as below..*

8th – 10th November (2 nights) – Osaka

10th – 15th November (5 nights) – ????? – I just want to be in fukuoka at some point for the sumo

15th – 16th November – Tokyo (early flight on the 16th)

Thank you! 🙂
