My wife and I will be traveling to Japan in early April for 12 nights. We prefer to avoid switching hotels too often, making a base and doing day trips (Osaka, Nara, more TBD). We arrive in Tokyo and plan on going straight to Kyoto. We'll finish the trip with several days in Tokyo before heading home. I would like to do a night or two at a place in Takayama.
How would you recommend we split up the trip? Are we going to be missing out by not staying overnight in Nara or Osaka?
