5 day stopover in Japan on way back to US 2012/11/8 13:27
I'm traveling with 2 sons, 18 & 20 back to USA from Manila thru Narita. Was hoping to do a 5 day stopover in Japan. They would like to see Tokyo/Fish Market and I would like to see Kyoto. Any itinerary suggestions? Transportation? How much $ for food and hotel? We've never been to Japan.

Any itinerary suggestions?

Depends on the above but 3 days Tokyo, 2 days Kyoto

Transportation?

I'd probably buy a 7-day JR Pass and use the Shinkansen ("Bullet trains")

Triples may not always be easy to find so you may prefer to split up rooms, or try Japanese style accommodation in Ryokan/Minshuku which can often handle three per room.

Enjoy your trip!
