So I have finally reach far in my Itinerary planning. Points to note I am solo travelling and planning to stay at hostels (Exception being one ryokan night). I have been to Japan before so a lot of the famous temples or castles (eg. kinkakuji, kyomizudera, etc) I have already seen hence why I don’t have them listed. I have also studied Japanese for several years and would love activities that give me the chance to chat with locals.
I would love if ya’ll could check and see if the itinerary makes sense. I also have several days that I don’t have anything planned on. I am ok with like 2 days being free where I can free style and in general want to be able to go with the wind. But I would love suggestions for maybe 2 days. One thing I was considering was if it is worth it to go from Kusatsu to jigokudani monkey park. I have never seen Snow in my life but the route seemed tricky and I am not sure if its even snowing at this time or if its worth it. Other than that feel free to criticize!!
Oh if any other solo travelers are gonna be around at this time and want to link up feel free to pm me! Like tokyo disney sea or fujiQ might be fun to sync up for or any other thing lmk!

I’ll be travelling in December and we saved 3 days for Kyoto. Would it help you to stay a bit more?
You could spend some time in Nikko, or spend more time around Kawaguchiko where FujiQ is or go up Mt Fuji if you feel fit enough and it is accessible during this time.
