7 nights only Tokyo + Day trip to Nikko or Kamakura that's all.
Japan is a huge country, maybe 70 days can cover as much of Japan

Since I have been to Japan 9 times, let's say average 10 days (but actually is more but never mind), but I still many places yet to cover! I think maybe 200 days might be enough.

Actually, aiminig to head there on 30 Aug, coming back on the 6th of sept.

actually, things on our plan to do list is to at least visit mount fuji and if possible, other places for sightseeing

It depends where you stay and what time you arriving the airport and which airport.

- You may cater 1 full day for Mount Fuji and surrounding such as the lake and premium outlet
- Disneysea or Disneyland for a day
- Harajuku, meiji shrine, omotensando, ayoma and ueno in a day
- Shibuya, tokyo tower, roppongi hill, Asakusa, akihabara, tokyo, tsukiji market, ginza
- Shinjuku and ikebukuro
- Tokyo dome, yokohama

This are just the few places/areas you should visit. Do draft an itinerary so that we can advise you further so that you don't waste time/money moving around

Day 1: Arrival at Narita: JR Pass up to Osaka

Things we can do at Osaka :

Osaka Castle Park
Isshinji Temple

Think we should be able to spend around 2.5 days in Osaka

1 Day in kyoto

1 Day Mount Fuji (Hiking Up) (Need to find place to deposit bag)

3 Days in Tokyo

In tokyo, we shall be visiting these area

Pokemon Center
Sensoji (Buddhist Temple)
Meiji Shrine
Hachiko Statue

some comments above
JR pass would be worth it since u are travel from Tokyo to Osaka/Kyoto and back

 

[cancer81]

my take is to not go to Kansai and leave that for another time when you can spend around 10-12 days in Japan...

Kyoto, if you like the stuff there can easily take up 2-3 days even if u do day trips from Osaka.

iirc U can only hike up to 5th station unless u make arrangements for the climbing season... having said that, the area around Mt Fuji is also very nice

there are a few Pokemon centers, the Tokyo one is in Minato ku. Nearest JR station is Hamamasutcho... There is one in Chiba and in Yokohama

so long as you make the shinkansen trips ie tokyo-osaka-tokyo, your 7days JR pass will worth the money. In between you just choose to take JR trains and all those will be your gain/bonus.

ok sui! thks!

One adult 7days ordinary JR pass cost 29110yen JAPAN RAIL PASS types and prices

To and from between Tokyo and Osaka is 14340yen x 2 = 28,680yen

I will opt to stay around Mt Fuji , Hakone ryokan for 1 night at least , the rest of 5 days can explore Tokyo.

No point travel here and there, rushing back to back. If you run out of ideas for Tokyo, can go to japanican and see any day trips.

 

[ralliart_ray]

Oh yah, pls remember to eat tenya tempura when you are there. Very good!

Think only can find in Tokyo area, that time went to Kansai but found none

 

[cancer81]

that one should be the famous tempura don in Asakusa area...

there is this tempura place in Namba which fries their ebi 2 at a time... very nice also... I can't remember the shop's name however
