Time:
Either Mid/late-February, Late april to early may, or early April.
Now, my issue is that I have a lot of places I’m really interested in going to, but I’m not sure about whether they’re worth doing. I really care a lot more about seeing the natural beauty and history of japan, so I don’t care too much about going to disney, teamlabs, or anything like that. Here is my current rough thought process.
Day 1:
Arrive in Tokyo, check in to hotel
Day 2:
Tokyo
Asakusa in the morning
Shibuya/Shinjuku/Golden gai in evening
Day 3:
Day trip? i was thinking Nikko or Kamakura/Yokohama Chinatown for dinner but not sure
Day 4: Travel back to tokyo, grab food and maybe see some quick sights. Then travel to nagano OR kusatsu for the night
Day 5: Travel to Kanazawa, eat good food and walk around old town
Day 6: travel to Kyoto
Day 7: Full day in Kyoto, Arayashima, shrines, all the typical stuff
Day 8: Kyoto to Nara. Spend the day there at the park. Then travel to Osaka for the night.
Day 9: Full day in Osaka or day trip to Himeji not sure yet.
Day 10: Osaka to Hiroshima
Day 11: Full day in Hiroshima, go to the deer island (Forgot the name sorry!)
Day 12: Travel back to Tokyo, go to Ghibli museum
Day 13: Tokyo to lake Kawaguchiko. End trip with a stay at a Ryokan
Day 14: back to Tokyo to the airport
Obviously this rough itinerary needs work, but given my main interest being nature/history I was wondering if there’s any places I really should be visiting and if there’s stuff I can take off this list. Really appreciate the help <3
