10 days Itinerary

[slinzx]

hi gurus, I'm planning a 10days trip to Japan including some areas that I've nv been before... like takayama, shirakawago and nagoya..

i'm planning to arrive in nagoya first and travel to takayama and shirakawago before heading to osaka as last stop...

i read in tripadvisor that takayama and shirakawago only require 3d2n... but i dont like to rush during my travel... if I were to do a 2 nights for shirakawago and 2 nights takayama, will it be too much and nothing to see?

for nagoya, i also plan for 2 nights before moving to osaka 3 nights.. any where that i can add into for 1 nights so i can reduce my osaka to 2 nights instead?

2 nights for Shirakawago seems a bit too much. But it depends on wat time u plan to arrive and wat time u leave the place.
I think u can comfortably cover Shirakawago and gokayama if u have a full day there. Staying a night there will be good, coz u dun need to rush for transport back.
Also depends whether u driving. If u drive, there are a lot more places ard the area that u can explore, such as hakusan national park.

U can have more days in Nagoya, and make day trips out. For example, to go Gifu, Inuyama or Ise

thank you for your reply !

i wanna to do a 2 nights stay in Shirakawago so i dont have to travel so much in 1 day between takayama, shirakawa.. so spending 2 nights in shirakawa i can slowly explore gokayama/kanazawa?

will be landing in Toyama Airport before heading to
- takayama (1 night )
- shiragawa ( 2 nights )
- nagoya ( 2 nights )
- kobe (1 night )
- osaka ( 3 nights )

is this itinerary ok? will be traveling by train to all these places.

Hi,
If you are not driving, you will be restricted by the bus or train scehdules. So take a look at that on where to go from Shirakawago or takayama. The towns in these places are rather small. So should be done in 3 hours.

U can also consider staying 1 night at kanazawa. For me, i travelled by bus. Stayed at takayama first, then took bus to Shirakawago, sightsee for a few hours and then take bus to kanazawa to stay.

I went shirakawago from Toyama and stayed at Toyama. 5hrs there good enough with lunch..

I did one just in Nov 2019.

2 nights in Shirakawago is too much cause you technically nothing to do there. Usually 1 night is sufficient. When are you going again?

Suggest: 2 nights Nagoya (go around using Nagoya as base), move to Shirakawago and stay for 1 night, go Takayama and stay for 1 or 2 nights, then go back to Nagoya to finish up last minute shopping

Fly to Toyama not a bad idea though
