Hey y'all I'm planning for an upcoming trip that's coming up at the end of November / beginning of December. It's a rough first plan to get an idea of timing between the various cities so I can start booking hotels. Would love any thoughts and advice. My current biggest hang up is fitting in Kinosaki. Thanks!
