Hi everyone! I am almost done with my Itinerary, so I would love some feedback! Or if you think I'm wrong / missing something.
Anything is welcome, but I would like people's thoughts on my days 3, 6 & 7.
Day 3, I am not sure if there's enough to do, but I think it would be nice to chill after getting there.
Day 6 * 7, I feel like these two won't need two days? I think I will spend maybe 2 hours in Shirakawago. Then in Takayama, I only know of a couple of things, so I don't think it will need another day. If it needs more time, spend the night there; if not, try to catch a late train to Kyoto?
Also, should I take a day trips to Osaka from Kyoto?
