Hi all,
Have always been eager to travel to Japan and now I've got a chance to go with a friend in late Jan 2019 to early Feb 2019 (14 days including flight).
Basic locations we will be visiting:
1. Tokyo
2. Inawashiro
3. Osaka
4. Kyoto
5. Kobe
For trip numbers 3-5 we plan on staying in Osaka and take advantage of the JR pass to go around to Kyoto and Kobe as they are close enough for day trips.
What have we finalised? Just flights..
Thus, my questions are as follows:
- Based on experience, when will it be the best time to start booking hotels/AirBNB
- Any "experiences" or "tours" recommended for that winter period (does not have to be limited to the cities listed above)
Thanks in advance.
airbnb - always.
wouldn't worry about JR passes
