Hello! This is a really last-minute itinerary check because I just found out about this community. It would really help if anyone can provide some feedback on the last section of my itinerary. I’ll only be taking 1 carry-on and a backpack, and I don’t plan to purchase any souvenirs until the end of my solo trip.
Prior to October 21, I’ll be staying in Tokyo for a full week, but I’m not really worried about that. My concern lies in the following days afterward:
October 21:
- Depart from Shinjuku Station. Arrive at Matsumoto Station in the afternoon.
- Explore Matsumoto Castle, Nawate, and Nakamachi-dori.
- Stay 1 night near Matsumoto Station.
October 22:
- Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, but I’m only doing a roundtrip from the Nagano side. I will not head to Toyama.
- Only taking a backpack with a change of clothes.
- Stay 1 night near Murodo Station.
October 23:
- Depart from Murodo around noon. Return to Matsumoto.
- Stay another night in the same hotel as October 21.
October 24:
- Kamikochi (Taisho-ike pond to Kappa-bashi bridge).
- Stay 1 night near Kappa-bashi Bridge.
October 25:
- Kamikochi (Roundtrip from Kappa-bashi bridge to Myojin-ike pond).
- Take bus to Hirayu Onsen in the afternoon.
- Stay 1 night at an onsen hotel.
October 26:
- Take bus to Takayama.
- Explore the old town area and Hida Folk Village.
- Stay 1 night near Takayama Station.
October 27 to November 1:
- Take train to Nagoya.
- Will be staying in Nagoya for 5 nights before returning to the US.
Can anyone tell me if it’s a realistic plan? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
