Was looking at airbnb places, any ideas on where is good area to stay in:
Osaka - Dotonbori?
Kyoto - Gion?
Tokyo - Shinjuku?
is it possible to use bicycles to explore places?
do check if airbnb is legalise yet during ur period of travel. it was previous illegal in most parts of japan, but recently they changed the ruling, so i not sure wat is the status
osaka - dotonbori is good... lots of eateries and shops. u can also consider umeda area. many malls and good train connections to most places within and outside osaka
kyoto - u may want to stay near kyoto station coz there may not be much to do at night. alternatively, can stay at osaka and make trips to kyoto
tokyo - shinjuku is good. can consider ueno as well
tokyo and osaka are big cities, probably not so suitable to cycle due to traffic and crowd. easier to just take train to get around
kyoto is getting overcrowded with ppl, not sure if it is suitable for cycling anymore
