I am doing a 2.5 week to Japan this coming winter. I am planning on skiing in Hokkaido for the last 4-5 days, but wanted opinions on my barebones itinerary thus far. I have a few days where I fit in a day trip between cities (i.e. Nara between Kyoto and Osaka, Kobe between Osaka and Hiroshima), I was just planning on dropping my stuff in a locker at the train station:
- Sat: Land at HND in the afternoon
- Sun-Wed: Tokyo
- Thurs: Wake up Tokyo, go to Hakone, then train to Kyoto
- Fri-Sun: Koyto
- Mon: Wake up Kyoto, day trip to Nara, then train to Osaka
- Tuesday: Osaka
- Wed: Wake up Osaka, day trip to Kobe, then train to Hiroshima
- Thursday: Hiroshima
- Friday: Wake up Hiroshima, fly to Sapporo, bus to Niseko
- Sat-Mon: ski various mountains (looking at Niseko and Rusutsu mostly)
- Tues: Ski during the day, 4 PM bus to Noboribetsu, night at Dai-ichi Takimotokan Ryokan
- Wed: spend day at Onsen, take evening flight Sapporo-HND and then midnight flight back to America from Tokyo
