Hi,
I will arrive at Kansai International Airport on 23 Feb 08 at 8pm and will be flying out on 1 March 08 from KIX at 9:20pm.
Below is my itinerary. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
23 Feb day 1 - stay at Osaka and walk around at night 24 Feb day 2 - start 7 day JR pass - Tokyo 25 Feb day 3 - Tokyo 26 Feb day 4 - Hakone round trip then return to Tokyo at night 27 Feb day 5 - Hiroshima/Miyajima - stay at Miyajima or back in Kyoto? 28 Feb day 6 - Kyoto 29 Feb day 7 - Kyoto 1 Mar day 8 - himeji - maybe a bit of Nara then to KIX to catch flight at 9;20pm
Questions: I have no interest in onsens. I included hakone round trip because I want to go somewhere where I can have a good view of fuji. Since I don't want to climb it, it rules out going to the 5th station. Is hakone the best place to see fuji?
Many thanks

my concern is with day 1, i don't feel you've given yoyrself enough time to get from kansai airport to osaka, it takes approx 1 hour, plus it can take 60 mins to clear customs & immigration, which could see you arriving in Osaka as late as 10-11pm, not allowing for Jetlag, i would suggest you spend the first night near the airport, then activate your JR Pass on day 2 (at the JR office at the Airport) and travel to Tokyo that day, (approx 4 hours).

view of Mt. Fuji

For the view of Mt. Fuji, I think Kawaguchiko/Fuji Five Lakes area is better. Closer to the mountain and very pretty lakes. Oshino Hakkei also is a small town that is famous for its view of Mt. Fuji and its springs.
