I'm not planning on getting a JR pass.
………..
Oct 22 land in Narita at 2pm, cheap domestic flight to Osaka.
Oct 22-29 stay near Shin-Osaka staion and dedicate 2 days to Kyoto, at least 1 day to Nara, Kobe, Magomejuku, and Osaka.
Oct 29-Oct 31 Train to Kagawa + rent car for at least the 30th.
Oct 31-Nov 3 Train to Mt Fuji to hit up Fuji Q and explore around Fuji 5 lakes area. (I expect this to be extremely busy, but I'm not sure how else to fit this in)
Nov 3-4 train+bus to Kusatsu and overnight at the Onsens.
Nov 4-11 bus/train to Tokyo, stay and do stuff for a week.
Nov 11-12 overnight in Nikko, leave on the 2nd to last bus.
Nov 12-13 last night in Tokyo, fly back at 4pm on the 13th.
…………
Is this a reasonable schedule or too ambitious? Should I move days around or cut something?
