1 wk April 2023 – Non-cherry blossom flower trip

Is there anything I overlooked here?

**Itinerary:**

* Sun April 23: Land at NRT
* Mon Apr 24 – Fri Apr 28:
* 1 open day… I thought about Disney Sea but hm idk
* 1 day for Ashikaga Flower Park / Fuji Wisteria Festival (keep an eye on their [flowering status blog](https://www.ashikaga.co.jp/parkdayori/flower.php))
* 1 day for Hitachi Seaside Park / Nemophila Harmony (F5 the park’s [info page](https://hitachikaihin.jp/?cat=1,101,102) for a forecast post; [I’ve seen this years forecast to get an idea of what week I should be there](https://hitachikaihin.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/220325_nemophila.pdf)); closed Tuesday
* 2 days for Kawaguchiko
* 1/2: Do stuff in Tokyo, train or bus to Kawaguchiko Station, stay overnight
* 2/2: Bus from Kawaguchiko Station to the Fuji Shibazakura Festival, back to Kawaguchiko, Panoramic Ropeway, Chureito Pagoda, train or bus back to Tokyo
* Sat Apr 29: Chill, shop, something; intentionally left open cause of the holiday
* Sun Apr 30: Flight out of NRT

From my understanding, Nemophila and Wisteria should be good around this time, but the Shibazakura might not all have bloomed yet. Welp. Aside from needing to book something around Kawaguchiko and Hitachi Seaside Park being closed on Tuesday, it’s pretty flexible.

**Transport**:

* NEX roundtrip ticket thing
* 3 Day JR Tokyo Wide Pass for Ashikaga and Hitachi. Can use the 3rd day for something else if I end up going somewhere else on my flex day, or for 1 of the Kawaguchiko days since the Wide says it includes the Fuji train.

**Hotel**:

* Staying near Tokyo Station or like a 5-10min walk from it seems convenient for this
* I’m not gonna bother checking out for the night I go to Kawaguchiko
