Travel | The Ultimate Guide For 5 Days 5 Nights In Japan

By huayyu - 12/29/2017

We booked our flight to Japan months ahead of our departure date. This will be our first time in Japan and I have no idea where to start planning. We are going to Osaka to be exact. Unlike in Korea, it all seems easy because I am somewhat familiar with where certain places are located. Thanks to Sygic Travel, I was able to create this 5 days 5 nights itinerary.

I had a hard time creating this Japan Itinerary as I am not familiar with how close or far each place that I want to visit. I used Sygic Travel (website) for this itinerary. I will be reviewing the Sygic Travel in my new post so be sure to watch out for that.

Those that are in the red are those places that we didn't get to visit. As mentioned in my previous itinerary post, the itinerary is just a guide on where you want to go but you don't have to follow it especially if you have no time and are very tired.

There are a lot of places to visit in Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara that one week is not enough. I had to really trim down the places that we want to visit to make it more realistic.

I also love to hear your itineraries for Japan especially in Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto.
