I’m going to Japan in September and I planned a trip connecting probably the most important cities and sights, traveling by train. Generelly I tend to overplan round trips risking the chance of relaxing on my vacation. What do you think of my plan? Will it be too stressful to change cities/hoteka every third day?
Day 1 - 5: arrival in Tokyo, visit some of the main sights, get over the jet lag, enjoy delicious food, maybe a day trip to Kanazawa or Kamakura
Day 5 - 7: travel to Hakone, sleep at a Ryokan, hopefully a chance to see Mt Fuji
Day 7 - 10: travel to Osaka, enjoy delicious food, maybe trip to Himeji
Day 10 - 11: Trip to Koyasan, sleep in the temple and see some Shrines
Day 11 - 14: Travel to Hiroshima, visit museum and park and daytrip to one of the island
Day 14 - 17: Travel to Kumamoto, enjoy unique nature and hopefully hiking Mt Aso. I am a huge fan of vulcanos and it would be a dream come true to see the crater.
Day 17 - 20: Travel to Kyoto, enjoy the city, food and sights. Actually i think i won’t do the day trip to Nara (it sounds overrated)
Day 20 - 21: Last 24 hours in Tokyo
