Eight Days in Japan
Last reply was 5 days ago 99
MaartenM (8 days ago): I appreciate my stay of eight days or so is not enough but that’s all I’ve got, so I have penciled in an itinerary(旅行路线) after arrival in Tokyo. I think it’s worth staying on the main island and heading out to Hiroshima/Miyajima for starters and then picking my way back by rail. Himeji for a day, same for Osaka (some peers think it’s miserable?), Kyoto and Nara and maybe Hakone.
I have a rail pass and was wondering if that itinerary is sufficient so as to give me a taste of the country, and if I am wasting my time on Osaka. I know I will be cutting myself short in Tokyo but I am easy about that as I live in a city and prefer to go to places with a slower pace.
Thanks for the help!
jon___1___ b (5 days ago): Given the length of your stay I’d say skipping Osaka is a good call. I would even say spending another day in Tokyo would be more interesting, as Osaka is a city in ways similar to it, but also has fewer sights to see. When I was there, I didn’t like it all that much but my friend found it (and the food) more to his liking than Tokyo.
nathalie2 (2 days ago): Skip Osaka, particularly if what you want is a “slower pace”. Also, Himeji has just one big sight to see — the White Swan castle, and that can easily be done as a daytime stopover without staying a night, giving you one more night somewhere else.
soniaberode (8 days ago): Sorry, I don’t want to sound mean, but in my opinion, you have done everything wrong. You certainly don’t need a JR Pass for the itinerary you are looking at. You are not including any place (with the exception of Miyajima) which has anything that even comes close to have a “slower pace”. And you are including way too much into your 8 days in Japan. If you keep that kind of itinerary, you will be spending a lot of time travelling from one place to the other, instead of being able to enjoy your short time in Japan.
Get real, do some research, and choose 2-3 destinations max. For me Osaka, Hakone and Himeji are definitely not part of those 2-3 destinations.

From the Great Market Hall to the Gellért Hotel and Baths, these architectural notables are must-sees while you’re in Hungary.
Great Market Hall
Close by the River Danube in Budapest is one of Europe's liveliest 19th-century market halls. Designed by a group of architects led by Samu Petz and completed in 1897, the Great Market Hall has a facade featuring patterned brickwork around a large main window and four smaller ones. At each end of the facade is a small tower.
Dohány Street Synagogue
In 1844 the Neolog Jewish community of Pest acquired a site at Dohány Street to build a new synagogue for its community of about 30,000 members and to celebrate their religious festivals. The architect chosen was German-born Ludwig Förster, whose Moorish synagogue in Leopoldtstadt, Vienna, was being built at the time. This building in Budapest measures approximately 173 by 87 feet.
Gellért Hotel and Baths
The Gellért Hotel and Baths, completed in 1918, faces Liberty Bridge at the foot of Gellérthegy Hill in Buda. The hill has long been known for its hot springs. Budapest is a city of spas, and the Gellért Hotel and Baths is by far the grandest.
