A short vacation in Japan

Question

I wish to have a 7 days vacation in Japan end of the year. Can you suggest where should I visit?

Answer 1

Tokyo for sure.

Answer 2

Make sure you get a Japan Rail Pass at home so you can travel cheaply. Unlimited from the time you start using it. You cannot buy them IN Japan.

Tokyo is interesting - I would say 2 days, then you could go south to Kyoto. Fuji Lakes area is only a couple of hours bus trip from Tokyo and beautiful - you could overnight there, catch the bus to Mishima then catch the Shinkansen to Kyoto.Go up to Nara either for the day or over night and fly out from  Osaka. You would want at least 2 - 3 days in Kyoto. You walk a lot but it is lovely.If you had time on the way to Osaka, stop in Himeji and go to the castle, which is a UNESCO heritage site.It is well worth it.

Have a look at some information at http://www.fascinating-travel-destinatio... At the bottom you can click to a lot of information including using the trains in Tokyo.

With 7 days, visit Tokyo and take day trips to Kamakura and Nikko.

Answer 5

Tokyo, Kyoto, try some more rural and country areas too- the view is just as marvelous!!
