Any recommendations where else to visit or must do city within easy reach/distance from/to Tokyo. Any thoughts/things to do in Kyoto or Osaka. Any advice/recommendations welcome on how to best plan/get the most out of our three weeks there. Thanks Catriona |

Kyoto. I have recently put the Kyoto phase of our trip on my trip report. Visit temples (too numerous to list), Ninjo-jo castle, feed deer in Nara, book a tea ceremony, dress in Yukata for the day, explore Kyoto station watch the light show walk the skywalk. Try to go during a festival time (we went during Gion float festival).
Osaka is day trip-able from Kyoto (about 40-50 mins via train). It is also possible to do universal studios from a kyoto base if you wish. |

You could take a day trip from Kyoto to Hiroshima. Sounds gruesome but the museum and memorial gardens are interesting and thought-provoking.
From memory it takes about 1h 30 mins on the bullet train. |

Kyoto is beautiful. Fushimi Inari Shrine was my favorite part of the whole trip.
Make sure to get their early, we arrived at 6:30am and it was perfect, basically had the place to ourselves.

Our time at Fushimi Inari was too late in the morning. At lower levels is was a scrum and not pleasant.
Most of the crowd disappear at the first "toilet stop" though so dont despair if you cannot get there early- you just need to go higher! |

Kyoto with day trips to Hiroshima, Nara, Himeji Castle and Osaka. We did this last year (except Osaka as we didn’t have time). There is also a Universal Studios near Osaka if you are interested.
Edit: a great day trip from Tokyo is Hakone. It’s a long day but we loved it and it’s one of the best days we had on the whole trip. I really recommend the open air museum there - it’s a stop on the Hakone train loop. Edited at 02:00 PM. |
