Hey everyone, I'm heading to Japan for the first time from January 31st to February 23rd, and I could use some advice on my itinerary. I'm traveling on a low-budget, so I'm planning to get the JR Pass to make it easier to move between cities, especially if I change plans mid-trip and it seems that it will pay-off
I'm more interested in Japanese culture and anime, so l'm skipping the usual tourist spots like Disneyland and Universal Studios. Most of my itinerary is set, but l'm a bit stuck on the middle part where I want to visit Takayama, Yamanouchi, and Kanazawa.
I'm considering two options:
Option A: Spend one night in each city, but I'm not sure if that leaves enough time to visit Shirakawa-go and Suwa-shi in Nagano.
Option B: Spend around 1.5 days in both Takayama and Yamanouchi, and try to fit in Shirakawa-go and Suwa-shi.
Option C: go to another place that is better
Any advice on how to best organize this part of the trip would be really helpful. Here's the rest of my itinerary:
31/1 – 5/2: Osaka (with day trips to Himeji and Hiroshima & Miyajima)
6/2 – 13/2: Tokyo (with day trips to Hakone, Kamakura, and Kawagoe)
14/2 – 16/2????
17/2 – 22/2: Kyoto (with day trips to Tottori (For the Detective Conan town) and Nara)
23/2 Kyoto > Kansai Airport
