Hi all, need some advice for my 18 days japan trip in June for 2 person. We both are more interested in local culture and good food, less of shopping. We are also particularly interested in nice scenery, especially as I love to take landscape photography. There are 4 days that we have not decided where to go, and we are trying to look for nice natural scenic places to squeeze in that is convenient to get to by public transport. We will be getting the 14 day JR pass and Suica cards.
We are flying in to Tokyo Haneda airport on the first day, here is the rough plan:
Day 1 - 4 : Tokyo (Tokyo Disneyland, Shibuya, Akihabara, Asakusa, Odaiba etc.)
Day 5 - 6 : Yamanashi (Lake Kawaguchiko area, Oshino Hakkai etc. possibly Hakone area, not sure if can squeeze?)
Day 7 - 10 : Kyoto (Nara Deer Park area, Kyoto shrines and etc.)
Day 11 - 13 : Osaka
Day 14 - 17 : Not confirmed, wanted to go to Kobe and Hiroshima at first, but looking at other scenic options. Purpose to go Kobe is to try the beef, but if there are other better places to try the beef pls recommend.. Also Hiroshima now seems too out of the way and not many things to see other than the great Torii gate.
Day 18 : Tokyo last minute shopping and rest
Day 19 : Morning flight back to SG
As of now the plan is still very rough, we are open to changes and suggestions.
We will be staying mostly airbnb and hostels in the cities.
Any other tips/advice/suggestions will be most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
