Hi All, would like insight for this itinerary for solo travel. Been to most of Osaka/Kyoto tourist spots in previous trips (but still open to revisit some esp. to catch autumn foliage, going late november).
Day 1 Osaka
Arrival Noon
Amerikamura
Shinsaibashi
-overnight Osaka
Was supposed to go straight from Airport to Hiroshima but added this day last minute and couldnt change original Hotel in hiroshima to add another day. $$$ for the holiday weekend.
Day 2 Hiroshima
Osaka Sewerage Science Museum (? Fan of Manholes)
Travel to Hiroshima
Hiroshima Museum of Art
Orizuru Tower (for sunset views)
Atomic B*** Dome
Childrens Peace Monument
-Overnight Hiroshima
Day 3 Iwakuni Day Trip
Kintaikyo Bridge
Iwakuni Castle/Ropeway
Shirohebi Museum (optional)
Return Hiroshima
Shukkeien Garden
Hiroshima Castle (maybe only on the grounds not main keep)
Peace Memorial Museum
Okonomimura
-overnight Hiroshima
Day 4 Miyajima
-Overnight Hiroshima
Day 5 Osaka
Return Osaka Early Train from Hiroshima
Katsuoji Temple
Suntory Yamazaki Distillery Museum (? Is this worth going to? I’ve read good reviews and wanting to go to the tasting room/gift shop. Have not got a tour slot from the lottery, but reservations still open for museum visit);
or Asahi Beer Museum in Suita
Dotonbori Dinner/Shopping
Day 6 Osaka
Minoh Park/Falls (early)
Expo 70 Park (Tower of the Sun Museum, Museum of Ethnology, Expo 70 Pavilion, Natural & Cultural Gardens)
Tsutenkaku/Shinsekai
Day 7 Free Day/Last Minute Shopping
Day 8 Departure AM
Any suggestions for change considering doing some stuff solo (like the sewer/whisky museum? Better with people or ok solo?)
Had planned doing the Suita area in 1 day but a bit tight considering opening times 930/10am and ideally going back to Namba area by 6pm. Would love to get some thoughts!
