We’re travelling to Japan for our honeymoon in May next year, it will be the first time for both of us so we’re very excited!

How does the below look for a 14-day itinerary? I’ve decided to miss out Osaka as I’ve read on many threads that it’s skippable and I feel I’d rather spend a bit of extra time in Kyoto and Nara.

Originally we were going to just do a day trip to Hiroshima but after doing some research I think I’d like to experience staying overnight and also visiting Miyajima Island.

What are people’s thoughts? Anything I should add/skip?
