Hi everyone, been lurking here and absorbing a lot of information to help plan our family's first trip.
We'll be going late October / early November, first time ever.
Here's what we're thinking of, for the 14 day trip:
day 1: fly into Haneda, stay in hotel by Shinagawa Station.
day 2 – 6: stay in Tokyo, try to see Shibuya Sky, Teamlabs Borderless, Ghibli museum. Then wander around various parts of Tokyo and eat / shop / sight see.
Day 6: travel to Osaka, stay in hotel in Umeda as home base for Kyoto and Osaka
Day 6 – 11: day trips to Kyoto (maybe 2-3 days) to see various temples, see Dontobori in Osaka, and 1-2 days in Osaka, day trip to Nara / Lake Biwa or Himeji
Day 11: travel to Yokohama, stay by Yokohama station hotel
Day 11 – 14: sight see ramen museum in Yokohama, day trips to Kamakura.
Day 14: head back to Haneda to fly home.
How does this itinerary look in terms of spending enough time in each area, in a slower pace, but seeing essentials?
Are there anything you would change / tweak, suggest to add to the itinerary?
Thanks in advance.
