Sumimasen for asking the repeated question

I originally wanted to visit Tokyo and kyoto in November for the beautiful fall foliage scenery at that time. But due to work load i didn't get leaves and had to postpone my trip.

In the mean time, i kept my travel research open and what i have understood so far is that for 7 day- first time trip to Japan, it should be limited to Tokyo only to get accustomed to Japan.

So my question is, If i plan my trip somewhere in February or March next year should i limit my itinerary to only Tokyo or include Kyoto as well?

I am a frugal traveler and don't know i will make it to Japan again... So confused to whether limit to only Tokyo or to visit Kyoto too.

With only 7 days, I would suggest staying only in Tokyo. You only have a limited time and don't want to waste too much time on long-distance travel. There's plenty to see and do in Tokyo, and splitting your time between two cities would mean you wouldn't get a full experience of either. However, many people do visit both Tokyo and Kyoto in 7 days.

If you are concerned about your budget, I would stay in Tokyo to save money.

(Your question should have been posted in the travel section. )

For a first time traveller to Japan, you should visit both Tokyo and Kyoto, and visit several famous, well-known places for your first experience of Japan and its culture. You can arrive at Narita airport or Haneda airport, and leave from Osaka airport or Kansai airport. 7 days is not sufficient but is not too short. And you should try, in the near future, to come back again to Japan.

@sq Yes, i have seen many people suggesting me the same. However i am worried if i don't make it to Japan again, i will miss out on visiting Kyoto.
