I'm planning a 19-day itinerary in Japan this summer. For a first trip, Kyoto seems like a must. For the rest, I'm torn between: - Matsumoto, Takayama, Kanazawa for 5 to 6 days - Kyoto 4 days - Nara 2 days - Koyasan 1 day - Hakone/Mount Fuji 2 to 3 days - Tokyo 3 days

Or dedicating the first 6 days to Kyushu.

Maybe there’s less traditional Japan in Kyushu compared to the Japanese Alps? Maybe Kyushu is less crowded? Thanks for your thoughts!

Re: Undecided on itinerary for 19 days in Japan including Kyoto

hi there

of course you’ve gotta go to Kyoto, but for Nara, you can visit it in a day from Osaka or Kyoto—no need to spend 2 days there. we did it from Osaka by taking a train; it’s pretty quick and you’ll save a day to visit somewhere else
