Hi everyone, would love to get some feedback for a 17 days trip from 27 May – 12 June travelling between the following cities for a group of 3.
– We are most concerned about the schedule on day 5, since we might be running a tight schedule considering we need to move our luggage.
– Should we go Takayama or Matsumoto? We are currently leaning towards Takayama because we heard it is nicer city to visit. However, it might be easier to ensure our luggage arrives on time if we go to Matsumoto.
