Planning a Japan trip April 2023, the 2nd and 3rd weeks. We will be in Osaka and then have 3 days before we go back to Tokyo. I was looking into traveling to Wakayama City / Wakayama Prefecture.
I am most interested in seeing Kumano Nachi Taisha/Nachi Falls, Mount Yoshino for cherry blossoms (we would be there mid April so hopefully that’s when it peaks?), Dorokyo Gorge, Wakayama castle for cherry blossoms and if timing permits, some of the coastlines in the Southern region.
We are open to renting a car as we leave Osaka and do a 3 day road trip. My questions are:
1) Is 3 days enough to see all the above (if it’s too long, open to additional suggestions in the area)
2) What is the most logical route/itinerary to see all the above?
Thank you!
