We’ve planned a 3 months (84 days precisely) lasting trip to Japan. Me and my partner will be spending a first month in Tokyo and areas and then will travel south ticking off things to see on our list.
Nagoya
Takayama
Kanazawa
Kyoto
Mount Koya
Osaka
Hiroshima
Okunoshima (Rabbit’s Island)
Miyajima
Nagasaki
Fukuoka and surroundings
I was wondering if there is someone that can recommend “less-touristy” and unusual places worth visiting across the country (Tokyo and below)? Also if you are already in Japan and would like to hang-out that’s awesome!
Looks like some great selections. Hakone is a really nice place, but if you’re going to Takayama already, you may already be getting your fill of mountain towns
Be sure to check out Himeji castle on your way through. I’ve been 3 times already but have never made it through the gates yet to tour the castle. It’s a long story
Nothing wrong with touring it. You just have to get there in time while it’s still open. I haven’t been successful at that yet. I always get caught up eating Kobe beef in Kobe and never make it in time
