Hi everyone! Whenever I travel somewhere new, I like to experience less crowded places, potentially off the beaten path. For my first time in Japan, after a week in Tokyo, I plan on spending some time in Ito (found a great spot for a fair price), before heading on to Kyoto.
I just wanted to know: How long should one spend out that way? Is there much to do across the Izo peninsula in May? Is ferry travel easy enough from Ito, to island hop? How about public transit > renting a car? (And any tips on must see/must try spots?)
Thanks in advance for your time and insight.
