How we’d spend 14 days in Japan
A researched journey idea with enough time to eat well, wander and stop looking at the clock.
Start in Tokyo
Give the city several days and explore by neighbourhood. Build your days around a handful of priorities rather than criss-crossing the map for every saved restaurant.
Take a slower middle
A mountain or onsen stay can provide a welcome change of pace. Choose the stop after reviewing your transport route, accommodation style and dates.
Finish in Kansai
Kyoto and Osaka offer different experiences and can work well together. Resist filling every morning with another landmark. Food and neighbourhood discoveries deserve time too.
Make it yours
This is inspiration rather than a fixed itinerary. Season, opening schedules, tickets and transport options need checking for your dates.
