Itinerary Help

Hello! I will traveling during the holidays around Japan with my sister. We have already been to Japan a few times, so we have already seen Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima (and Miyajima), Fukuoka, and Osaka. For our trip, we wanted to see places we have never been to before. I live in Saga-ken, so we will begin the trip in Kyushu and end in Tokyo around the New Year. I have never planned a trip by myself before, so I need a lot of help! Please help me with my itinerary! All suggestions are welcomed and appreciated! Thanks again!

December 23rd: Depart for Ise Shima (fly from Fukuoka to Nagoya, then take the ferry to Ise Jingu)
December 24th: Ise Jingu
December 25th: Hijemi
December 26th: Hakone
December 27th: Hakone (Fuji Five Lakes Area)
December 28th: Kamakura
December 29th: Tokyo (Yokohama day trip)
December 30th: Tokyo (day trip to Nikko)
December 31st: Tokyo
January 1st: Tokyo
January 2nd: Return home

Is that Himeji on the 25th? If so, then that's back-tracking to the west just to head east again the next day. It seems like a lot of traveling time for just one day/place.

Thank you so much for your answer! I think we will actually skip Himeji entirely. Our updated idea follows:

December 23rd: Depart for Ise Shima (fly from Fukuoka to Nagoya, then take the ferry to Ise Jingu)

December 24th: Ise Jingu

December 25th: Hakone

December 26th: Hakone (Fuji Five Lakes Area)

December 27th: Kamakura

December 28th: Tokyo

December 29th: Tokyo (Yokohama day trip)

December 30th: Tokyo (day trip to Nikko)

December 31st: Tokyo

January 1st: Tokyo

January 2nd: Return home

If you haven't yet, get your ticket for 2 next January as it is kind of peak travel time.

Enjoy your trip through Japan!

Thanks! I've got those Jan 2 tickets booked now :)

Do you have any tips for getting from Ise Jingu to Hakone?
