Hi all! My family (2 adults + 6 yr old) is planning a trip to Japan in Fall of 2025 and have been putting together an rough plan. We’re planning to mostly get around via train (sadly the JR Pass doesn’t seem like a good deal anymore) and would love some input on the plan. Appreciate any advice!

Days 1-6: Tokyo, Mount Fuji, and Hakone

  • Day 1 : Arrival in Tokyo. Settle into Shibuya. Explore Shibuya Crossing, Hachiko Statue, and nearby shops and restaurants.
  • Day 2 : Tokyo - Morning at Tsukiji Outer Market for sushi breakfast. Visit Pokémon Center DX in Nihonbashi and explore Akihabara.
  • Day 3: Tokyo - Visit Meiji Shrine and Takeshita Street in Harajuku. Afternoon in Shibuya for shops and dinner.
  • Day 4: Visit Mount Fuji. We’re thinking this may be a good opportunity to book a guided tour but also up for exploring ourselves if it makes sense. Return to Tokyo in the evening.
  • Day 5: Tokyo - Spend the morning at the Imperial Palace East Gardens. Open to suggestions of what to check out for the afternoon/dinner. Maybe some conveyor belt sushi, my son would love it! lol

Days 6-7: Kinosaki Onsen

  • Day 6: Travel to Kinosaki Onsen. Check-in. Relax
  • Day 7 : Spend the day visiting the town, onsen hopping, eating. Any recommendations on other things to do in the area?

Days 8-12: Osaka, Himeji, and Kyoto

  • Day 8: Travel to Osaka. Explore Dotonbori and Namba areas for food and shopping
  • Day 9: Universal Studios Japan.
  • Day 10: Visit Himeji Castle. Maybe another good option for a signing up for a guide/tour?
  • Day 11: isit Osaka Castle, Umeda Sky Building, and Osaka Aquarium.
  • Day 12: Nara Day Trip. Tour again? Maybe?
  • Day 13: Travel to Kyoto. Explore Fushimi Inari Shrine, Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and Kinkaku-ji . Stay overnight in Kyoto.

Days 14-15: Return to Tokyo

  • Day 14 : Travel to Tokyo. Last chance for shopping and food! Maybe checkout some more pokemon centers?
  • Day 15: Departure from Tokyo
