Going to Japan in October for 20-ish days. Starting in Tokyo and going to Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima, as well as various day trips in between, but having trouble picking an ideal order after Tokyo. As of right now, I'm tentatively on the following order:
– Tokyo
– Hakone
– Kyoto
– Osaka
– Hiroshima
– Tokyo part 2
My issue is that two of the places we want to visit are Himeji and Kobe, which are on the way between Osaka and Hiroshima, but I was wondering whether it made more sense to do those as stops on the way to Hiroshima from Osaka or if they should be day trips instead. Also wondering if I should maybe use Hiroshima to break up the Kyoto-Osaka wing?
