8 Days Itinerary- Osaka – Kyoto – Tokyo – Mt. FUJI

Hi Everyone! We are a group of 4 from SEA planning to go to Japan this November. We have limited PTO available so it might look like we are trying to do a lot of things despite limited time.

I just need some advice if this itinerary is feasible before we start booking activities/passes in Klook.I also need some advise if the unli pass (1 unli pass for Osaka-Kyoto then one for Tokyo) is better compared to IC/Pasmo card.

# Osaka

Nov 4 – Saturday

* Arrival at 7pm local time
* We will book the Rapit train in Klook to get to Namba
* We will stay in Grampus Inn which is just 10-15 mins away from Dotonbori and Namba Station

Nov 5 – Sunday

* Osaka Castle in the morning
* Kuromon Market for lunch
* Namba Yasaka Shrine in the afternoon
* Dotonbori – in the evening – dinner and shopping

# Kyoto Day Tour

Nov 6 – Monday

* Leave hotel at 6AM and travel to Fushimi Inari Shrine
* Around 10-11 am – Ride train and go to Gion District
* Walk and visit Ninenzaka/Sannenzaka/ Kiyomizu-dera temple
* At 3PM go to Nishiki market (it seems like it’s a 25mins walk, would there be a bus?)
* At 6PM visit Teramachi-Dori Mall (is this worth a visit?)
* Then travel back to Osaka

Is it better to get Osaka-Kyoto Pass then in Klook or is there any better alternative?

Nov 7 – Tuesday

* Leave hotel at 6AM and ride train to USJ
* Is express pass necessary? I’m a big fan of Harry Potter so that’s the most impt part for me, Mario world would be a bonus

# Tokyo

Nov 8 – Wednesday

* Check out in hotel in Osaka and book a one way Shinkansen to TokyoWe’ll book this in Klook
* Check in hotel in Tokyo Candeo Hotel in Ueno though it’s one station away from Ueno. it’s in Uguisudani station I guess. Would it be better to find a hotel that is exactly near in Ueno station so we won’t be having a hard time with our luggage when we fly out to our home country?

Nov 9 – Thursday

* Harry Potter Studio Tour leave hotel at 7AM
* Team Labs Tokyo

Nov 10 – Friday

* Asakusa/ Senso-ji temple
* Shibuya/Takeshita-Dori
* Shibuya Sky/ Tokyo Tower
* Shinjuku explore at night

# Mt. Fuji Day Tour

Nov 11 – Saturday

We are planning to just take a train from Ueno to Kawaguchiko station or is it better to ride the bus?As much as possible we wouldn’t want to take the Shinkansen or JR train to go there.

Nov 12 – Sunday
Check out and book a train from Ueno to Narita Airport

We don’t like to book the Day tour trip in Klook as we would like to do it DIY so we don’t have to worry about the time.Any advice will be highly appreciated.Thank you!
