36F first time in Japan – itinerary review

Hey everyone!

Starting to plan my dream trip to Japan and would really appreciate some feedback. I'm a 36F with lots of energy and will be travelling alone if that matters. 🙂

Here's what I'm thinking:

Arrival at Tokyo: 22-Mar-2026

5 nights in Tokyo with a day trip (Nikko or Kamakura? Any others?)

Here's where it gets complicated:

1 night in Kawaguchiko

1 night in Kiso Valley

1 night in Takayama

1 night in Shirakawa-go

I know this is FAR from ideal but I'm having trouble giving up any of the four. I really want to sleep in Shirakawa-go in particular. Any suggestions?

4 nights in Kyoto (day trip to Nara)

3 nights in Osaka

I don't have anything scheduled yet so everything can be adjusted and any thoughts are welcome! ☺️

Thank you!
