Hi there!
I’m planning my first trip to Japan in August with 3 or 4 other friends.
We have to choose 3 out of 4 destinations to add to our Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka itinerary. What do you think we should leave out?
* Nakasendo: we like the idea of a short hike between rural towns.
* Miyajima & Hiroshima: we were planning to stay overnight in Miyajima. Is it worth it?
* Hakone: instead of doing a day trip to see Mount Fuji, we were considering the possibility of staying in Hakone. Is August a bad time to go to the onsen?
* Koya-san: We find it interesting to spend a night in a Buddhist temple.
We were thinking of skipping the night in Hakone (planning to visit it during the day) because we imagine it’s not the best at this time of year and because they say it’s difficult to see Mt. Fuji. What do you suggest?
Thank you very much!
