Tips

To extend the trip, consider adding a full day in Osaka between Kyoto and Tokyo for its vibrant food scene and shopping districts like Shinsaibashi; likewise, a night in Hakone offers a relaxing onsen experience. If you need to shorten the itinerary, you can combine the Nikko and Nara day trips into a single “Historic Sites” day by flying out of Osaka instead of returning to Tokyo, or skip the optional Disneyland visit and allocate that time to more local markets or additional halal cooking workshops.
