Hi all,
Currently planning a trip to Japan from 16th to 29th Nov. Mandatory stops will be Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Nara.
Was contemplating then adding Okinawa or Hiroshima or Fukuoka. While still very crude, the main idea is below. I feel it's too heavily based on Osaka, but has the advantage of allowing the trip back being from a main airport and have a central base instead of moving hotels constantly.
Open to suggestions !
