Slacking on planning, panicking 😅 this is just a general outline before I start booking hotels.
Misawa > Tokyo
4 nights Tokyo
(Day trip to Kawaguchi? Stay the night? Undecided here. Could do 3 nights Tokyo and 1 night Kawaguchi, thoughts?)
6 nights Kyoto with day trips to Nara, Himeji
2 nights Osaka
2 nights Tokyo, back to Misawa
Super rough, my mom is visiting and we have 14 days to explore “Japan highlights” ie the golden route. Any extra stops you would recommend? Things to do? Places to see? Changes in itinerary?
Perhaps 5 nights Kyoto with day trip to Nara, 3 nights Osaka with day trip to Himeji castle?
Also, will I need to book trains and busses in advance between Tokyo to Kyoto and etc? Definitely booking flights, hotels and events (teamlab etc) in advance but unsure on trains and day of things.
Thanks in advance!
