Itinerary suggestions please 2016/9/2 12:34
Hi,

This is my second trip to Japan and I'm looking for some itinerary suggestions. I'll be arriving in Tokyo and leaving from Osaka about 3 weeks later (in early December). Some of the places I want to see are Kanazawa, the Kiso Valley, Kobe and Nara. (I've already visited Kyoto, Takayama, Himeji, Kurashiki, Hiroshima and Miyajima.)

Could you suggest an area that I could visit for 5-6 days other than the places I've mentioned so far? I'll be travelling using a JR pass. Interested in sightseeing, nature, architecture, food, crafts. I've already got an Onsen visit planned.

In 5-6 days you can go basically anywhere, so just consult this website or others and make your pick.

I would explore the mountainous regions of Toyama, the seaside region of Noto Peninsular. They are near Kanazawa are give some fantastic views. Also being near the sea means some of the best sashimi, and near the mountains means good sake and Soba.

Thanks for your advice. I have spent hours on this site - the problem is there are just so many places that appeal to me. I was hoping for suggestions about what others have found particularly worthwhile or interesting, and practical to get to as well, given the timeframe.

Why not explore Hokkaido, 5 days should be enough to explore the whole island.
