After having our trip cancelled a week before leaving back in 2020 we managed to book flights and accommodation for 3 weeks in Japan (Tokyo – Kawaguchiko – Kyoto – Osaka – Hiroshima/Miyajima – Tokyo) from 20/04 – 11/05. Mainly looking for feedback to see if there’s anything big I missed or if some days are too heavy/light. Any tips on what should be pre-booked and bike hire are also appreciated. We are both quite active guys in our early 20s so any heavier days shouldn’t be a problem. Anything marked with a (?) is stuff we’re still unsure about. We were also debating either getting a 2 or 3 week JR pass.
