Hi All,

I am going to Hong Kong and Japan for my honeymoon in Dec2009-Jan2010. This is a basic rundown of what we would to do etc I will need to depart back from NRT to HKG on the 20th of Jan.

I will depart HKG for NRT on 3rd Jan having spent new years at HKG. So I will arrive in Tokyo around afternoon, spend the rest of the day there. I plan to spend another night in tokyo, so effectively 2 nights in Tokyo so far. I would like to explore more of tokyo as I like the city "thing" etc. So I was thinking to finish off my japan trip by spending the last 4 nights in tokyo.

So 3rd,4th in Tokyo.
5th Jan I depart for Kyoto??? or Hokkaido/sapporo??? I can't decide to go north first or south? I understand sapporo is quite a way by shinkansen? How many hours? Also will it be safe to catch a flight to hokkaido during Jan, just worried about the weather conditions?
Was thinking of a 7 day or 14 day JR rail pass?
I was thinking arriving back at tokyo on 16th jan.

Can anyone assist me here ?
I plan to visit, kyoto,nara,osaka,hiroshima,himeji,miyajima,mount fuji would like to try onsen (either in kyoto or hakone?) or any others you recommend me or I should leave out ? note I would like to have a relaxed schedule not too hectic

I won't be going back to japan anytime soon as have financial commitments and family

Cheers,
Kenn.
