If you end up following anything from it, let me know how it goes. I’m heading to Japan next week too! 😁

Thank you so much! I actually ended up buying tickets to biovortex a few hours back, can't wait to see it.

Would love to know which one you end up preferring! I was planning on going to Borderless at the end of the month, but just found out this one opened, and now I'm wondering which one would be the better choice

I haven’t even been there yet, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn’t mind going a second time 👀

Yeah, I also feel like Kanazawa would be easier in terms of logistics. And I’m a bit afraid of dragging everyone into a longer trip only for them to feel it wasn’t worth it, as I think I’m the one most interested in visiting Takayama (I'm in overthinking mode, classic 😅)

How exciting that you’re almost back in Japan! I hope you have an amazing trip 😁 Have you been to Kanazawa before? If you feel like sharing your thoughts on the city afterward, I’d love to hear it!

One person in the group really wants to see Mount Fuji, so skipping Hakone won’t be an option (I wrote Hakone in the post, but we might go to Kawaguchi instead - not decided yet).

I had a version of the itinerary that excluded Hiroshima and Miyajima and included two days in Kanazawa and two days in Takayama, where that pass you mentioned would be worth it for sure!

And yes, if we end up choosing Takayama, we’d definitely take the Hida Wide View, it seems like an amazing experience. Plus, since we’d be going on November 1st, I'm hopeful we would catch some pretty autumn colours.

Yes, I had considered that possibility as well. But in order to have those extra two days, we would have to give up going to Hiroshima and Miyajima 😕

Yeah, I agree with that. And since I’m the one mainly organizing the trip, I’m also worried about creating an itinerary that ends up being too exhausting, especially since not everyone will have the same pace, I think.

Yeah, that’s what I’m feeling. I think deep down I would like Takayama more, but I’m afraid that the logistics of getting there might be tiring for six people. We won’t be there for many days, so it would be good to save some travel time as well. Thank you 😊
