Hi Chris,

My biggest suggestion is to use the general information pages on the main forum.

On these pages - it tells you the train station and how to get there from the train station.

Two websites which are helpful in working out which trains to catch is Jorudan (http://jorudan.co.jp/english/) and Hyperdia (http://www.hyperdia.com/)

I don't work for the forum, nor am I one of the senior posters here but we do tend to get quite a few posters asking for a lot of information that can be found on the website.

That's probably why you have not had any reply in 12 hours....

Your itinerary involves a significant amount of crisscrossing. Is the ordering done that way for a reason, because if not you should consider reordering it.

It was unintentional i reordered my schedule and cut out visiting Gundam Front Tokyo because since i only have a week i think it would kinda difficult to visit and i've decided to just save it for next time.

Day 1:Akihabara, Ghibli Museum, Nakano Broadway, Ikebukuro (Pokemon Center)
Day 2: Yasukuni Shrine, Japanese Sword Museum, Tokyo tower
Day 3: Kyoto (Manga Museum), Nijo Castle, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji, Fushima inari shrine
Day 5: Lake Kawaguchiko (Mount Fuji) Yokohama(Kirin Beer Village), Sankeien Garden
Day 6: Nagoya(Toyota Factory Tour)Korankei, Nagoya Castle

Is this better?

I'd reorder geographically it either:

Tokyo - Kyoto - Nagoya - Mount Fuji/Yokohama - Tokyo

or

Tokyo - Mount Fuji/Yokohama - Nagoya - Kyoto - Tokyo

Note that Mount Fuji and Yokohama are relatively difficult to visit on the same day.

@yllwsmrf

Well since Mt.Fuji and Yokohama are difficult to do in one day would this work?

Day 1: Akihabara, Ghibli Museum, Nakano Broadway

Day 2: Yasukuni Shrine, Japanese Sword Museum, Tokyo tower

Day 3: Kyoto (Manga Museum), Nijo Castle, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji, Fushima inari shrine

Day 4: Yokohama(Kirin Beer Village), Sankeien Garden

Day 5:Lake Kawaguchiko (Mount Fuji)Nagoya(Toyota Factory Tour)

Day 6: Ikebukuro (Pokemon Center)
