Itinerary for 14 Days – Feasibility check

Hey all! just curious if this would work out:

* Friday/Saturday — US to Osaka
* Sunday — Osaka Castle
* Monday — Awaji Island Monkey Center
* Tuesday — Other Osaka stuff (Kuromon Market, etc.) — buffer day in case the Monkey Center is closed for inclement weather Monday
* Wednesday — Travel, Osaka to Kyoto
* Thursday — Arashiyama Monkey Park, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Bamboo Forest
* Friday — Travel to Kotohira
* Saturday — Konpira Stairs/Shrine
* Sunday — Travel to Kumano-Nachi Taisha
* Monday — Kumano-Nachi Taisha and as many shrines as I can see
* Tuesday — Travel to Tokyo
* Wednesday — Tokyo Stuff ( SENGEN PARK Tokyo Skytree, Isetan, Senso-ji Temple, Akihabara )
* Thursday — Tokyo Stuff ( Tsukiji Market food, Omoide Yokocho ) — Can inherit Wednesday stuff that I didn’t to; main goal is the photo-op of Senso-ji Temple’s pagoda)
* Friday — Other Tokyo Day trip?
* Saturday — Departure

Hopefully I’m leaving enough buffer days to account for any delays. It’d be nice to see Cuddly Dominion and see Kuroda-san and Kai-kun’s performance, but it’s a bit out of the way. Awaji Island and Arashiyama monkey parks are definitely the highlights for me. I’d be great to catch Noh as well, but the weekends are the only possible days for that (due to remote work), and I don’t think I can make it work.

I can extend by one day if it would make Kyoto a bit easier. Wasn’t sure if it’s too ambitious to see all three of those that first Thursday.

Thanks all!

  1. honestly this just looks like a huge mess to me

    Awaji Island Monkey Center?? thats a 4 hour bus ride each way from Osaka. thats ridiculous. you’ll see monkeys at arashiyama, don’t waste your time with this

    Kotohiro-gu to Kumano-Nachi is 8 hours

    Kumano-nachi to Tokyo is 8 hours also

    you’re wasting entire days to see this little attractions it seems so wasteful

  2. Curious if an entire day is needed for Osaka Castle if anyone can shed light on this- I’m also planning a trip and set aside 2-3 hours (excluding travel time)
