Hello, recently scored very cheap tickets to Japan by way of travel funds that I almost forgot to claim. Anyway, I land in Nagoya and below is my itinerary draft:
* Day 1 – Arrival (around 1 PM) and transfer to Osaka
* Day 2 and 3 – make the most of 2-day Amazing Osaka Pass (Osaka Castle, Osaka Museum of History, Umeda Sky Building, Shitennoji, Tennoji Zoo, Tsutenkaku)
* Day 4 – Universal Studios
* Day 5 – Day Trip to Nara
* Day 6 – Transfer to Kyoto
* Day 7 and 8 – Kyoto sites (Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinakakuji, Nijo Castle)
* Day 9 – Transfer to Nagoya
* Day 10 – Day trip to Shirakawago and overnight in Takayama
* Day 11 – Takayama Old Town and go back to Nagoya
* Day 12 – Nagashima Spa Land
* Day 13 – Nagoya sites ( Science Museum, Art Museum, Toyota Museum)
* Day 14 – Flight back home
Would like to know your thoughts on this itinerary. The inbound flight, though, I might change to Osaka depending on fare difference vs transport fare from Nagoya Airport to Osaka. During booking, I was quite constrained on which flights are available.
