Advice on planning my trip to Japan

Hello :)
I would like to request some guidance.
I am currently planning my trip to Japan, and there are quite a few things and locations I would love to see. My vacation spans 12 days.
So I would love to hear if anyone could give me advice on how to go about planning this? Do I even have time? Are there any agencies that are particularly good? Any recommendations? :)


The things/locations I would like to see are as following:

In Kyoto:
Kinkakuji
Kejserpaladset
Gion, and attend a tea ceremony
"The international Manga-museum"

In Himeji:
Himeji-jo

In Nara:
Nara kõen
Ninja Yashiki

In Osaka:
Mandarake
Osaka-jo

In Kobe:
Osamu Tezuka Museum
Takarazuka
And of course Beef :)

And I would love to go to a Sumo match if possible?
(perhalps Hakone, Lake Ashino and mt. Fuji)

Thanks :)

Yes, you can certainly fit those things into 12 days. When are you planning to go?

"How to go about planning" is a little vague; what specifically do you want help with? Finding accommodation? Thinking of other places to see? Deciding on a schedule?

Dear Michelle,
the place you stated , i think is to many for you to cover.you should visit one or two place in each region. then you can enjoy more

When are you planning on visiting? The dates will determine whether you'll be able to see a sumo tournament.
