Not sure which trip?
Seven questions, and up to three suggestions from the verified days.
5 days · Tokyo and Kyoto
The short trip that still feels like Japan: two days in Tokyo, one shinkansen, and three days in Kyoto. Every stop here is a full, verified day on the site, with a link to its complete route, hour by hour.
6 days · Chubu and Hokuriku
The route for a second trip, or for an extra week: a castle with golden fish, an Edo-period town in the mountains, the thatched-house village, a samurai city on the Sea of Japan, and a new shinkansen straight to Tokyo. Fewer tourists, more food.
7 days · Tokyo to Osaka
The skeleton of a first trip to Japan, built from verified days on the site: two days in Tokyo, a night in a ryokan in Hakone, three days in Kyoto with Nara, and a finish in Osaka. Every 'stop' here is a full day, with a link to its complete route.
10 days · Tokyo to Osaka via the Alps
The first trip in its full version: two days in Tokyo, a night in a ryokan in Hakone, the mountain town of Takayama, the thatched-roof village, Kanazawa, three days in Kyoto and Nara, and a finish in Osaka. Every stop is a verified day on the site, with a link to the full route.
14 days · Tokyo to Hiroshima
Two weeks that cover most of what people come to see the first time: Tokyo and Nikko, a night in a ryokan in Hakone, Takayama, Shirakawa-go and Kanazawa, four days in Kyoto and Nara, Hiroshima and Miyajima, and Osaka at the end. Fourteen verified days, with no day repeated.
