Hi, my boyfriend & I are planning a 3 week trip in late February, we’re yet to fully flesh out the trip but would like to know if people think we’re spending too long/too short a time in places! (Sorry mobile formatting)
17th Feb land in Tokyo but travel straight away,
Kanazawa – 3 nights,
Kyoto – 3 nights,
Hiroshima – 3 nights
(Day trips to Itsukushima island & Sandankyo),
Osaka – 5 nights,
Nara – 1 night,
Fuji – 1 night,
Tokyo – 5 nights,

Following to see what feedback you receive.
We are visiting most of the cities mentioned, but we have devoted more time to Tokyo and Kyoto and less to other places. I’ll be very interested to read feedback on your plans! Our current plan looks like this:
Tokyo – 3 nightsKanazawa – 1 nightKyoto – 4 nightsHiroshima – 1 nightOsaka – 3 nightsTokyo – 7 nights
I should note that we will be there over the New Years holidays, so we are essentially losing some time to that, unfortunately.
Edited to add: Oops, I thought this was in the japantraveltips reddit. If this gets pulled here I’ll head there to see if you re-post it, OP.
Surprised mods haven’t removed this. Everytime I post anything on here without any actual itinerary it gets removed. I suggest putting this on r/japantraveltips too.
I would say to either stay the 8 nights in either Kyoto OR Osaka, but not both. They are soo close that unless there is some outlying area you will be staying in that would just make it impractical to hop on a train for 30 mins then setting up a base in one or the other would be my suggestion.
