Hey Community,
So I (f/23)was planning my trip to Japan with my family for the Summer 2025 and now I’m asking myself which City would be the best to spend 1-3 nights
I have around 3-4 Weeks and I planned to spend one half in Tokyo and the other half in Kyoto and Osaka.
I would spend a night near the Fuji Mountain and then drive trough Tokai and Shiga/Mie to go to Kyoto and Osaka (I hope you can understand the route I have in my head)
Now the question is which part between kyoto/Osaka and Tokyo would be worthwhile to spend some Nights as a break
My plan was to stay in Nagoya but I visited other threads and many people are saying that Nagoya was rather boring and ugly (I thought it would be cool to stay there cause of the Oasis 21 and the Castle)
Another idea would be to travel up to Gifu and stay in Shirakawa( I saw some pictures and it look really pretty) but I fear it would be too time consuming ?
If anyone knows where a 1-3 night stay would be good pls help me out 😀
(It’s my first Japan trip and our goal is to focus more on the middle part of Japan,next time we would visit the south or north)
(If anyone could share what route they took and could recommend that would be great 🙂 )
(And we would travel with a rented car)
Thank you <3
