Hey!

This autumn, I’m traveling to Japan for the second time. On my first trip, I visited Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, so this time, I’m not spending much time in those areas. I’m planning my route to follow the fall foliage, traveling from Sapporo down to Nagoya. I’m a 30-year-old solo traveler, and this itinerary focuses on the places I personally find most important to visit. I also have many more spots saved on my map. I’ll check them out if I have the time and energy. :)

I welcome ideas and improvements!

Here’s my itinerary:

29.10. – 3.11. | Sapporo Arrival in Sapporo. Planning to visit Maruyama Park, the Sapporo TV Tower, and the Sapporo Beer Museum. I’ll also do a day trip to Otaru, and maybe one to Asahiyama Zoo (still deciding!).

3.11. – 5.11. | Aomori Staying in Aomori and visiting the Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse. Might do a day trip to Lake Towada or Takayama Inari Shrine.

5.11. – 9.11. | Sendai Visiting the National Treasure Osaki Hachiman Shrine and doing a day trip to Yamagata to see Risshaku-ji Temple.

9.11. – 12.11. | Nikko Planning to visit Toshogu Shrine, the Tamozawa Imperial Villa, Sazae Temple, and possibly Edo Wonderland.

12.11. – 15.11. | Nagoya Highlights include the Toyota Commemorative Museum, Nagoya City Science Museum, and maybe Ghibli Park if I can fit it in.

15.11. – 17.11. | Nara Exploring Nara Park and nearby attractions.

17.11. – 18.11. | Mount Koya (Koyasan) Visiting Kongobu-ji Temple and Okuno-in Cemetery.

18.11. – 23.11. | Hiroshima Planning to visit the Peace Memorial Museum and Dome. I’ll take a day trip to Itsukushima (Miyajima) and another to Fukuoka to see a sumo match.

23.11. – 26.11. | Nagasaki Visiting the Peace Park and Atomic Bomb Museum.

26.11. – 29.11. | Tokyo Spending my final days in Tokyo—no specific plans yet, just taking it easy before heading home.
