Seems all the places I’ve read about and you mention are cool. Time is the only limitation.. I’ll try some tour and personalized planning and see what we can do. One little additional help: anyone know of a good live rock band bar in Tokyo or Kyoto?
If you have seven whole days, I’d recommend Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima as your itinerary. Get the Japan Rail Pass! You should be able to see a lot of cherry blossoms but it kinda depends on your exact location and what part of April you’re going in.
