Hey, Recently i discovered that i have 2 months (June - July) to fly to japan. The two main goals of this trip, is to experience the Japanese culture and hiking. I come from a warm country, so i hope the unbearable heat of the summer in japan - will be bearable. But if it turn out to too hot to hike I will add more days for Hokkaido.
The itinerary: Tokyo - 4 days Nikko -1 day (night at Tokyo) Kamakura -1 day (night at tokyo) Yamanouchi - 1 day ( night at Takayama) ** is it worth visiting? Takamaya - 4 days (as a base for travelling the Kiso valley, Kamakochi and the mountains around it) Shirakawago - 1 day (night at Takamaya) Koumano koudo - 10 days Mountain Koya - 1 day Nara - 1 day Osaka - 1 day Hiroshima - 2 days Kagoshima - 2 days Shikoku - 3 days Hokkaido - 2 weeks Kyoto - 2 days *July festival Hkona - 2 days Fuji - 1 day Tokyo - 5 days

I hate packing and unpacking and changing hotels, so I'd pick one place to stay and do Nara, Osaka, and Kyoto from there. Maybe something like this: Tokyo - 4 days Nikko -1 day (night at Tokyo) Kamakura -1 day (night at tokyo) Yamanouchi - 1 day ( night at Takayama) ** is it worth visiting? Takamaya - 4 days (as a base for travelling the Kiso valley, Kamakochi and the mountains around it) Shirakawago - 1 day (night at Takamaya) Koumano koudo - 10 days Hiroshima - 2 days Kagoshima - 2 days Shikoku - 3 days Hokkaido - 2 weeks Mountain Koya - 1 day Nara - 1 day Osaka - 1 day Kyoto - 2 days *July festival Hkona - 2 days Fuji - 1 day Tokyo - 5 days Also, you may find it helpful to trace out your route on a map to see if you have your trip arranged in a logical order. See this example of a month-long trip for what I mean: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2400_traverse.htmlThen add in your travel days to the itinerary. For example: "Fuji 1 day, train to Tokyo that evening." Hope this helps!

Note that June and into early/mid July is the rainy season (tsuyu) for much of Japan. It won't be as hot, but expect a lot of rain. The sweltering heat and humidity comes later in July and August.
