Going in the summer (July) . Going with my friend and her son. I’ve been to Tokyo/Kyoto before. Son is really interested in games and anime. She’s interested in Pokemon/cats/cute things.

Day 6 – Kyoto/Osaka – Train to Kyoto/Golden Temple/Observation Towe/Ponte-Cho
Day 7 – Kyoto/Osaka – Fushimi Shrine/Nara Deer/Gion
Day 8 – Kyoto/Osaka – Arashiyama/Bamboo Forest/Monkey Park
Day 9 – Kyoto/Osaka – Universal Studios/Pokemon Cafe (if no reservation in Tokyo)
Day 10 – Kyoto/Osaka – Himeji Castle/Kuromon Market/Dotombori
Day 11- Hiroshima – Train to Hiroshima/Peace Museum/Peace Park
Day 12- Hakone – Train to Hakone/Hakone (Or Miyajima?)

​
Suggestions?

Don’t bother with Hakone since currently you’ve allocated it very little time. On Day 12 just stay in Miyajima if you want to experience ryokan/onsen. Hakone is such a trek (there is one Hikari train every two hours that calls at Odawara – and then you have to travel onwards to Hakone proper, and then on Day 13 you have to leave in the morning to get stuff done in Tokyo). So all that you can fit in Hakone is dinner / sleeping? In July Mt Fuji will most likely be covered by clouds anyway.
