Hi, I'm planning my first trip to Japan. I'm doing a circle starting in Tokyo, then Kyoto, Nara, Mt Koya, Osaka, Takayama, Shirakawa-Go, Kanazawa and... I'm stuck :) I have still 3 days before going back to Tokyo and I'm not sure where to go. All I know is that I want to visit Nikko on the way back, but I don't know where to go from Kanazawa. Nagano? Matsumoto? Maybe somewhere else? Please help :) Thank you!

Gooday. I'd shift the order a bit and go Osaka, maybe Hikone (lovely castle town just near Maibara on the shinkansen), Kanazawa via the Thunderbird (you might have to backtrack to Kyoto to Kanazawa, Kanazawa to Shirakawa, Shirakawa to Takayama, Takayama to Kamikouchi (if it is open), Kamikouchi to Matsumoto (nice castle), Matsumoto to Karuizawa (via Nagano), Karuizawa to Enoshima/Kamakura, Kamakura to airport.
I've given you too many to do, but have a look, there are some brilliant towns there. Otherwise you could stick with your current route then go Kanazawa to Karuizawa (try to stay at Tsuruya Ryokan, it is awesome) then on to Enoshima (we stay at Iwamotoro Honkan, also awesome, and Enoshima is a great little island and good base to explore Kamakura).
Matsumoto has a great castle with armour and weapons in it, but not a lot else to do there unless you want to see the wasabi farms.

You need to State the month so we know the season State how many days you are spending in each city. For example My Koya needs a night to enjoy whereas Kyoto needs upwards of two days. I would recommend going past Karuizawa and Nagano from Kanazawa as it is along the same Shinkansen line. You can see quite a bit and being away from city life has its charm.

Thank you for your brilliant replies guys! I will be in Japan in May. Nights per each part of the journey: Tokyo - 4 nights, Kyoto - 3 nights, Mt Koya - 1 night, Osaka - 1 night (but I'm still not sure if Osaka is worth a night-over?), Takayama - 1 night, Shirakawa-Go - 1 night, Kanazawa - 1 night. And I have still 3 nights left before going back home :) I'm trying to add big cities and small villages into the mix.
