Hello Wonderful Travelers,

I need help planning my 12 days, 11 night trip to Japan.
We have round trip tickets from Tokyo and need to come back to Tokyo on the 12th day.

Minimum I would like to do is :
3 days Tokyo
2 days Kanazawa
3 days Kyoto

I don't quite know which cities to add days, what other locations to add.
My boyfriend and I are looking forward to the Cherry Blossom season, all the wonderful food, cultural experiences and all of Japan's Uniqueness.

This is our first time in Japan and unfortunately my knowledge of Japan in quite useless. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you kind strangers!

Start with 3 nights in Tokyo.Then travel to Kanazawa and then to Kyoto.And last night in Tokyo....

If you get bored in Tokyo or Kyoto(I doubt it)..you can easily do a day trip,to Hakone or Nara for example.

BTW if you are traveling in cherry blossom season you will need to book accommodation well in advance,particularly in Kyoto.

With 12 days 11 nights(10 full days) I would spend 3 days in Tokyo(2 half days as well) and 4 days in Kyoto(day trip to Nara).

2 days in Kanazawa and 1 day somewhere along the way like Takayama or Matsumoto.
