How long minimum to spend in Japan? I have unlimited time (well, within regulations) but not unlimited money. I was thinking about 3.5 weeks before I realised I could do that with a job even if I would burn up quite a bunch of vacation time. I'm trying to stretch it to 30 days or more also because I'm realising it could end up feeling rushed, but money will be tight. I'll probably end up with a bit more than 1M ¥ to spend on everything by the time I go (not counting the flight), but that would pretty much empty my bank account and I would rather not go that deep.
In general I'd probably want to start out in Kansai, maybe go on a quick stretch to Hiroshima/Miyajima, and otherwise head from Ise up through Gifu to Kanazawa, to mostly cut East to Nikko, then heading down South on the outside of Tokyo to Hakone/Mt. Fuji finally into Tokyo proper which is around where I'd spend the rest. I actually just remembered I drew up a shitty itinerary for a friend but noticed I didn't take Matsumoto into account so maybe there's a curve there (and small curves for cool shit along the way, taking recs to make the most of the in-between part).First trip by the way (and I don't think I'm making it back anytime soon so every bit of minmaxing counts).
I might have gotten too detailed so to get to the point/tl;dr
How long can you stretch 1M Yen for while having an alright time?
