Went to Tokyo for 8 days 2 years ago and loved itGoing to Japan next year, this time for 2 weeks and planning on booking hotels for 2-3 locations throughout the trip, preferably at least one urban location and one more rural out there location
Osaka and Kyoto obviously.
>>2907513I really dug Beppu out in Kyushu. Bus ride from Fukuoka or Nagasaki. It is a hot spring town, but has a bit of an old resort town that time forgot kind of feel with hot spring steam everywhere. Early moring walks are a serious vibe. Some rugged bathhouses there and some fancier ones along with the Hell pools.
Hokkaido
>>2907515Kansai has a lot going for it in addition to Osaka and Kyoto. There's Nara, Himeji, Iga, Wakayama. Not to mention it's an hour and a half away from Hiroshima by Shinkansen.
>>2907513Sapporo
>>2907963>sapporoPlease tell us more about your time here. Any reccomended towns to stop off in on the Shinkansen?
>>2907968You've got 12 more years until the Shinkansen to Sapporo is finished.
>>2907972But since it goes all the way to Hakodate, if you transfer there, you can get to Sapporo.
>>2907972>12 more yearsLet me rephrase my questionAny recomended Shitkansun stops between Tokyo and Hakodate?
>>2907988Nta but take the fucking plane to cts and go to sapporo and base yourself out of thereSure theres technically shit to see and do if you wanna shinkansen from tokyo to hakodate and then get on different trains or whatever; but this is like flyover country type stuffIf u dead set, theres nikko (big old shrine complex) and sendai (big city) and zao (fox village)Plane's cheaper than trains and much faster and very convenient, and then you have more time to do things in hokkaido
>>2908367> base out of sapporoYeah depending how much time I have I think it would be cool to fly one way and then shitkansen one way and see wtfs up with Aamori, Morioka or jaunt to Akita train rides also give me a boner so its worth the extra $ for daddy ( thats me )but anyway it sounds like maybe you can reccomend some Hokkaido spots or Sapporo things to do ?
>>2907513Containment thread still up, weeb>>2904992
I'm literally in Hokkaido right now, it's nice
>>2907513Hit okinawa for a week. They are a little racist if you look american but its an amazing place. Great beaches, food is amazing, not too expensive. Im unsure if they still have a banana show. They have the worlds largest tug of war every year in Naha or Nago, cant remember. But shits so big it doesnt really move. Great festivals for cherry blossom season.
>>2907513Spend at least two days in Nikko. The place itself is a asian redwoods-style forest with multiple temples, some UNESCO world heritages. The nips themselves have the quote: "you can't say marvelous untill you've been to Nikko"
>>2910533 (samefag)This is one of the main temples seen from Tokugawa Ieyasu's gravesite, it's incredibly beautiful
>>2907516If Kusatsu is a onsen town, then Beppu is a onsen city.
>>2910533Where did you stay?
>>2907513I'm spending some time in Hakone with my wife in December. Shizuoka is very nice in general.
>>2910533nice panorama, very good
