Hi,
I would love some feedback/tips/recommendations from you guys, so that I can adjust this plan a little bit. I will go with my fiance, it's our first time in Japan. We love to eat nice food, visit beautiful nature, history places and just enjoy life. We would also love to get some recommendations from you regarding places to stay in the different city's, our budget is maximum 95 dollars per night but it would be nice with some cheaper then that. I think we might skip one night in Hiroshima, its expensive to go there (100 dollars or so one way) so maybe just focus on the other areas.
Also what do you think about a visit to Fuji? If the place Kawaguchiko is nice then we can go there to see Fiji, but also walk up on Fuji, as I understand most popular being the Yoshida Trail on the Yamanashi Prefecture side. The mountain is divided into 10 “stations". Would like to know if/which one it's "easy", how many hours it takes and if it's worth it? Maybe if we start really early? I would really love to have some feedback and thoughts from you all! 🙂 And if you have any "must" to do in Tokyo and the other places as well, please just write to me/comment here!

Namba & Amerikamura area On this day, I want to focus on the city center and therefore go up to the Shinsaibashi station level, and tour Amerikamura, Shinsaibashi-Suji, and Triangle Park.
