we plan to spend around a week or so, and basically exploring Japan from Tokyo down to South/West area.
Possible places to stop by /stay over is (from the further left) Fukuoka, Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo.
However, these are not final, and am open for exploring other cities.

Basically, based on our plan, we'd arrive in the evening, around 8pm-ish, want to see what would be the best option.
based on the suggestions in the earlier post, we can either:
- go straight to nagoya (or even Fukuoka?)
- spend the evening at nearby non-starwood hotels

I'm hoping to stay within Starwood properties and use points.
