After posting on TravelJapan Yesterday I was able to revise my itinerary, which means I spent all day looking for hotels !
Here is my rough itinerary and the hotel i chose. Before booking anything, I would love some input, confirmation that these are great choices, and/or have other recs that are maybe better?
I scammed through the search bar so some recs come from this sub !
Stay is 20 days in Jan : 5 nights in Tokyo part1 / 2 nights in fujikawaguchiko / Osaka 4 nights / kyoto 5 nights / tokyo 4 nights part2
Budget would be 2000€ max for the whole trip.
Solo traveler, definitely do not want to stay in hostels or Airbnb.
First Tokyo stop : Hotel Gracery Asakusa. Approx 350 to 400€ for 5 nights.
Why ? : first stop will be dedicated to one day trip as well as some temples and museum. Least shopping possible
Do not need help with Fujikawaguchiko but hotel is around 500€ for 2 nights (hotel with view and private bath only real splurge of trip)
Osaka : cannot find one that looks good to me 🙁 the one recommended here were all over 400 buck for 4 nights. Open to any suggestions
Kyoto : hotel Sui kyoto kyomizu. Approx 230€ for 5 nights
Why : several day trips from there and looks like it would be more my vibe than osaka (not a drinker) hence why one more day
Tokyo part2 : The knot tokyo shinjuku. Approx 455€ for 4 nights
Why : remaining shopping streets overall wandering around tokyo getting lost etc. Saw this one recommended several times !
It's a little steep for 4 nights but I'm ok with it if its great !
Day trips i am planning (not dead set on it yet) : Himeji, Nara, Uji, Nikko, Minoh, chichibu, yamanoshi, amanoashidate
Any help is welcome 🙏
