Hi,

Just booking another trip to Japan. This time it is 2.5 weeks in total ( with golden week at the end)
My proposed itinerary is

Arriving in Osaka Kansai ( early am) after a Cathay pacific flight from LHR via HKG
Express train to Kyoto
3 nights at the Doubletree Kyoto station ( opens at the end of this month so have a back up booked at the HGI Kyoto). 3 days to explore kyoto ( first time in kyoto)

1 night at the Conrad Osaka ( using HH points as it is ovet Y110k pn) to relax
Fly down to Nagaski from Osaka itami. Bus or boat to Huis Ten Bosch
2 nights at the okura hotel at HTB

4 nights at Hilton Nagaskai ( explore Nagasaki again)
Shinkansen/Kamome relay train to Hiroshima

4 nights at the Hilton Hiroshima ( will try to grab the Hiroshima Carp bear on sale at the hilton- might visit Iwakuni also this time ( have been to Miyajima twice now but might try to go again. This would be at the start of Golden week
55th birthday on the Tuesday I leave hiroshima.
Flight to Haneda and 1 night at Conrad Tokyo ( birthday relaxing night)

1 night at hilton yokohama
Afternoon flight with Cathay ( got a HND dep rather than NRT) and 2 nights at Conrad HKG ( have not been to HKG since 2019 pre covid)

Got a few ideas for Kyoto but will look at the web to get an idea of the main sites to aim for but also aim to have a wander around depending on what grabs my interest

Regards
