Photo: David Kernan · CC BY 4.09 daysJapan's classic first-timer route, stretched to nine days with Nara in the middle: three days in Tokyo, three in Kyoto, a day trip to Nara, and two in Osaka. Tokyo brings the neon, the temples of Asakusa and the food halls of Ginza; the Shinkansen drops you in Kyoto for Fushimi Inari, Gion and Arashiyama; then it's south to Nara for Todai-ji's Great Buddha and the deer of Nara Park; and finally west to Osaka, Japan's kitchen, for Dotonbori street food, the castle and retro Shinsekai. The plan re-plans itself around how you travel: classic, foodie or family, fast or slow.

Day one dives into Dotonbori's neon and street food, day two takes in Osaka Castle and the castle-park food halls, day three goes retro in Shinsekai with kushikatsu and the tower, day four heads to the bay for the aquarium and Universal Studios, and day five winds down in Umeda's depachika food halls. The plan re-plans itself around how you travel: foodie, family or first-timer, fast or slow.
