When?!
June
Which cities will you visit and for how many days?
Becca
So far were going to stay in Tokyo for 5 days, hakone for one night, Kyoto and Osaka for a few days then back to Tokyo
June
Hakone for 1 night is good. Try to get the fastest train trip there though bc some much longer than others. I think you need 3 days in Kyoto if you want to see the best/busiest temples. Tasting menu at Giro Giro is a must experience in Kyoto. Depends on your interests what you see in Tokyo, but lots to fill a week. I have lots of other ideas too, if you want.

I was lucky to be there for the grand sumo tournament (in May), but if there aren't any sumo events when you're in Japan, this is a great backup plan http://truejapantours.com/sta001/

Look for the Japan friendly discussion group. I hope you have booked accommodation as that is very high season.

With certain tours you can summit Fuji in a day. On my list!
