Hello all,

The better half and I are heading to Japan for the first time in a couple of months from the UK. Having gone through the forum and researching online using Japan guide etc the below is what I am thinking based on what we like to do which is also included below. Any thoughts on whether we are going to too many places for our first trip? We anticipate this being an action packed holiday.

What we want
- First time in Japan
- In our early thirties
- To see the sights and sounds of the big city
- Really into temples and heritage sites
- Bit of countryside e.g. see a mountain and lake
- Visit an Onsen
- See Sumo wrestling
- Massive foodies – but the better half is only a pescatarian (even then quite particular about the seafood she eats)

Land Tokyo 1st Mar morning

Tokyo 5 nights – 1,2,3,4,5 (with day trip to Nikko and one to Disney Sea?)
Hakkone 1 night – 6 (in an onsen/rkyon) - could we do this in Kyoto?
Kyoto 4 nights – 7,8,9,10 (with day trip to Nara)
Mt Koyo 1 night - wife wants to stay with the monks
Osaka 2 nights – 12,13 (day trip to Hiroshima?)

Take off 14th Morning from Osaka

Question for the places we are only staying 1 night can we send the bulk of our luggage ahead to the next hotel and just take small day bags? We travel pretty light anyway so not a huge issue.

Thanks in advance, also I am happy to provide additional info if I can.
