Itinerary Help

I am bringing my wife and daughter to Japan for the first time. We will be arriving at Narita on the 17th of July and leaving from Narita on the 24th of July.
We plan to stay in Tokyo for a couple of nights, then Kyoto for a couple of nights; before returning to Tokyo.
Can you recommend an itinerary? Was thinking Tokyo through the 20th; Kyoto through the 22nd and back to Tokyo; before leaving the afternoon of the 24th.
However, I fear this is 8 days...and a 7 day pass would leave us a day short.
Is it better to take the train directly from Kyoto to Narita and stay an extra day in Tokyo on the front end of the trip? This would get us close to the airport and allow us to take full advantage of the 7 day rail pass.
Thank you in advance...

  • Hi,

    It's a good idea to start of your trip in Kyoto, and end it in Tokyo. We would suggest spending at least 2 days in Kyoto, then doing a side trip to either Osaka, Nara or Hiroshima even. Please bare in mind however, that Hiroshima is further away. Finally you can finish off your holiday with 3 days exploring Tokyo.

    We hope you have a fantastic trip!

    Kind regards,
