Hi everyone,
I'm planning my first solo trip to Japan between late November to early December and could use some advice on my itinerary.
Here’s my current plan:
Day 1: Arrival in Narita —> Tokyo
Day 2: Tokyo
Day 3: Tokyo —> Kinosaki Onsen
-Thinking of leaving my luggage in a coin locker at Kyoto Station instead of dragging it all the way to Kinosaki for an overnight trip. Thoughts?
Day 4: Kinosaki Onsen —> Kyoto
-Gion
Day 5: Kyoto
– Nishiki Market
– Arashiyama
-Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple
Day 6: Kyoto —> Hiroshima (Day Trip)
-Visit Miyajima Island
Day 7: Kyoto
-Visit Uji
-Tea ceremony, shop for matcha
Day 8: Kyoto —> Osaka
-Osaka Castle
-Dotonbori
Day 9: Osaka
-Universal Studio
Day 10: Osaka —> Kanazawa
-Higashi Chaya District
-Kenrokuen Garden
-Kanazawa Castle
Day 11: Kanazawa —> Day trip to Shirakawa-go
Day 12: Kanazawa —> Tokyo
-Stop by Nagano to visit snow monkey park if possible?
Day 13: Tokyo
– Harry Potter studio tour (maybe)
Day 14: Tokyo
– Last day shopping
Day 15: Tokyo —> Narita
Also, do you think a 14-days JR Pass would be worth it for this itinerary? Any tips or adjustments would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
