Hiya! Going in November, 9 full days, 2 half days. Arrive in Osaka, fly out from Tokyo. Need help plz!!
Plan is:
3N Osaka; 2N Kyoto; 1 Night bus to Fujiyoshida or Kanazawa?; 1N Fuji or Kanazawa; 4N Tokyo (day trip to Fuji if going to Kanazawa on night bus), so technically only 2 full days in Tokyo.
Questions:
- Ive seen so many posts where people say 1 full day in Osaka, and now I have 2 full days for Osaka, in which half a morning is for Nara). I’m not interested in partying but will want to check how the city happens at night anyways. So I thought I could stay those 3 nights in Osaka (cheaper than extending one night in Kyoto) and use one of those days to visit the bamboo forest or the Fushimi Inari.
- Kanazawa looks incredible, is it really worth it? What’s unmissable about it? (I thought about a day trip but Shinkansen tickets are soooo expensive).
- Tokyo. If we go to Kanazawa, we won’t spend so much time in Tokyo. 2 days is too little right?
I’d be so grateful for your advice! I just read a post about Japan research travel burnout and I’m feeling it!!!! Can’t make up my mind!
