Welcome to Japan! This 14-day itinerary is designed for first-time visitors arriving at Kansai Airport (Osaka) with a passion for nature, onsen bathing, and wellness. You'll experience the serene temples of Kyoto, the bustling energy of Tokyo, and remote mountain onsen villages—all within a moderate daily budget of ~¥15,000 per person. We've balanced famous landmarks with hidden natural escapes, ensuring you experience both Japan's iconic culture and its peaceful soul. Pack comfortable walking shoes and an open mind.
Yes. You'll take 5+ shinkansen trips (Osaka→Kyoto, Kyoto→Tokyo, Tokyo→Hakone, Tokyo→Hiroshima, return). A 14-day JR Pass (¥79,600) covers all intercity rail, saving ¥40,000+ versus individual tickets.
Comfortably. Budget breaks down: business hotel ¥8,000, meals ¥4,000–5,000, activities ¥2,000–3,000. Onsen stays in rural areas are often cheaper; skip Tokyo's central districts.
Spring (March–May) or autumn (September–November) are ideal: mild weather, fewer tourists, beautiful scenery. Summer is hot; winter risks snow in mountain onsen areas.
Take the Haruka Express train (¥3,000, 75 min) directly to Osaka Station, or the cheaper Limousine Bus (¥2,000, 90 min). Both are fast and tourist-friendly.
Use IC cards (Suica/Pasmo) for subways, buses, and local trains. Most cities have excellent public transit. Download Google Maps for offline navigation; it works perfectly in Japan.
