Hi All, I am visting japan for 22 days (28 Sep till 20 Oct) with my wife & my son (3 years). I just need some help and expert advice to ensure that I can make an effective use of 14 days JR pass that I am looking to purchase. Below is what I have planned: City 28-Sep Tokyo 29-Sep Tokyo 30-Sep Tokyo 1-Oct Tokyo 2-Oct Mt Fuji 3-Oct Mt Fuji 4-Oct Takayama 5-Oct Takayama 6-Oct Kanazawa 7-Oct Kanazawa 8-Oct Kyoto 9-Oct Kyoto 10-Oct Kyoto 11-Oct Kyoto 12-Oct Hiroshima 13-Oct Fukuoka 14-Oct Osaka 15-Oct Osaka 16-Oct Osaka 17-Oct Osaka 18-Oct Tokyo 19-Oct Tokyo Can anyone suggest me is it worth spending 2 nights each in Takayama & Kanazawa. Or shall I consider the day trips?
Similarly for Hiroshima & Fukuoka as its gonna be too much of hassle checkin & cheking out? Has anyone has any suggestions to avoid that and stay at the central place.

I would put Takayama 1 night and Kanazawa 2. Honestly I would have spent even a third night in Kanazawa if it had been possible to see the things I wanted. Takayama we were able to see a little bit on the day we arrived (Hida Folk Village) and then the rest on the next day before taking the train to Kanazawa.
I wouldn't go to Fukoka for one night only, unless there is some spesific reason. I would just spend that time seeing Hiroshima and Mijayima.

Oh sorry, I didn't answer about the day trip. Yes, you could do a daytrip to Hiroshima from Osaka. Fukuoka for me would be too far for a day trip and for one night also.
I wouldn't do day trips to Kanazawa and Takayama though. If you don't like to rush, Takayama is very nice, you will easily spend two nights there and just taking it a bit easy between city visits :)

Hi. We've been to Kyoto several times and dont get bored of it, although over the past few years it has gotten very crowded and places like Kiyomizudera are a bit of a zoo. Personally I would think 4 nights in Kyoto would be plenty, and I would recommend a night or two in Nara. Nara is very pretty and a great place to relax for a few days, especially if you are staying overnight because it is peaceful in the mornings. We usually treat ourselves to the Nara Hotel, old section.
