Got 10 days in japan.......

[RussGTR]

Hopefully i can get some advice from japan residents or people who have been there already.

-Got flight in and out of Tokyo at the beginning of October.

-Organised JR rail pass

I think this is where we plan to go.

Tokyo- 4-5 days (including day trip to or near Mt Fuji and g/f wants to do the Disneyland thing)

Osaka - 2-3 days

Kyoto/Nara - 2-3 days

We plan to do shopping/car stuff/temples and normal tourist stuff.

What do you guys think of this itinerary?? Do you suggest more or less in each place or suggest a totally different place?

Apologies if this sort of thing has been heaps of times before but i guess the answers will vary depending on how many days and the time of the year.

ps. please tell me we are not going in the japanese school holidays.

well i can only say something about tokyo: get to japan - good one day to recover, disneyland - thats a good day, fujiyama - wow there goes another day, girlfriend would be tired - rest for the whole day... there goes the vacation in tokyo.

I think you should spend all 10 days in Akihabara. Damn I loved that place.

The rail pass is a good idea if you plan on using the shinkansen a lot. That was one of the highlights of my trip going through Yokohama at warpspeed on the way to Mt Fuji, worth the flight all by itself!!!. If it was winter I would suggest going to see the snow monkeys in Yudenaka( near Nagano) truly amazing experience. The onsens at Atami are pretty special too!!!
