First time Solo Trip. Need help please.
Hi,
I am in the early days of planning a 1 month(26 days) itinerary for Japan. I am planning to go in December. This is my initial draft based on my research. This is what I have setup:
- Tokyo - 10 Days
- Tokyo skytree
- TeamLab Planets
- Imperial Palace
- Shibuya Crossing
- Shibuya Sky
- Tsukiji fish market
- Tokyo tower
- Explore shinjuku
- Kuji Temple
- Explore Akihabara
- Hie Shrine
- Day trip to Hakone & Lake Ashi Cruise
- Fuji 5 lakes - 3 days
- Staying near Kawaguchiko staton
- Bike around Lake Kawaguchi
- Kawaguchiko Ropeway
- Chureito Pagoda
- Kyoto - 7 days
- Fushimi Inari
- Nijo Castle
- Kyoto Imperial Palace
- Kiyomizudera temple
- Arashiyama Bamboo forest
- Kiyomizu-dera Temple
- Day trip to Nara
- Day trip to Osaka
- Osaka Castle
- lambda Yasaka Jinja Shrine
- Day trip to Himeji Castle & Mt. Rokko
- Hiroshima - 3 days
- Peace memorial park
- Visit Miyajima
- Explore Hiroshima
This what I have so far. It's a total of 23 days & I still have 3 days left. I'm quite overwhelmed with all the planning required. I could use some help improving this.
I'm looking for help around:
- Is this itinerary making good use of my time?
- Am I missing anything important?
- What are some must have experiences in Japan?
- What should I do with the 3 extra days (I guess 2, last day would be mostly getting to the airport).
Any help would be welcome. Thank you in advance.
