Hi all,
I am planning a two week trip to Japan (Kansai region as base, flying in and out of Osaka) in late November and early December. I’ve been to Japan three times before so looking for things that are less touristy. I’ve done some research but am having a hard time really deciphering what makes sense and I’d love to hear from people directly what you’ve loved.
Ideally we won’t spend too much time in transit and would maybe want to stay based in the Kansai region to then do day trips but also happy to move around some for the right destinations. I love hiking and photography (hoping we get lucky with some foliage!) and Japanese food/drinks (our first trip was a work assignment to study Japanese food and beverages) so any spots with unique regional dishes are also interesting.
Apologies for such an open ended question, I know we all have different preferences and I will continue to plan on my own, but I really do appreciate anyone taking the time to share their personal experiences and recommendations.
Thank you!
