We’re visiting Japan in mid-May for the first time, a last minute trip

We’re flying in and out of Tokyo - total 11 day trip

This is what we’re thinking of:

Day 1-2: Tokyo

Day 3-4: Osaka

Day 5-6: Kyoto

Day 7: Mt Fuji and Hakone

Day 8-11: Tokyo (including DisneySea)

We are somewhat fast paced in our travels. We’re trying to achieve a balance of nature, culture and city vibes and of course great food!

Looking for some suggestions on:

  1. Is the Takachicho Gorge, Kumamoto and Mt. Ajo worth visiting and squeezing in?
  2. What is the best place to do a ryokan experience?
  3. Any other small town or offbeat locations that we can explore? Since this is our first time we do want to go the golden route, but want to add in a little something different
  4. Also what areas are best to stay in each of these areas- we’re considering

Tokyo - Ginza

Osaka - Namba

Mt. Fuji - Hakone

Food and activities suggestions are always welcome :) or any tips for Japan in general
