Yes considering how busy Kyoto is, it was much more affordable for me on my trip than Tokyo hahah. I’ll definitely have to visit Nikko for my next trip!

Takao-san, Nikko, Kawagoe and Kamakura are all fab options for seeing a bit of older Japan (they are also all amaaaazing in autumn if you go back!) And I am always a fan of the chilled Yokohama vibes. It’s fun to see Japan through your eyes. 🙂

Kamakura is a lovely town and probably even warrants a night or two stay. Kyoto – I would spend some nights there as it can be a trek from the JR Station where the Shinkansen stops to the major sights which are very spread out and it easily takes you an hour to go from one to the other. Also… I found accommodation prices in Kyoto surprisingly reasonable when compared with Tokyo.
