Japan trip - final draft

After days of "hard work", I hope my itinerary can be finalised.

Day 1:
Arrive Narita airport and proceed to Yudanaka (Nagano)
Enjoy a kaiseki dinner in a ryokan in Shibu Onsen.

Day 2:
Visit Snow Monkey Park before leaving for Kyoto.

Day 3:
Visit Kyoto Imperial Palace, Nishijin textile Center, Gion Corner and Nishiki Street Market before going to Saga-Arashiymana for its night illumination in Bamboo Groves.

Day 4:
Leave for Tokyo to visit Asakusa senso-ji, Tokyo's Imperial Palace and a couple of free observatories to have a good view of the densely populated city.

Day 5:
Take a double decker shinkansen to Nikko to have a short walking trail in central Nikko before meeting Ito in the early evening.

Day 6:
Tokyo Disneyland with Ito's family.

Day 7:
Morning flight back home.

Train times have been checked and enquiries on accommodations have been made.

In early Dec, I will do a final confirmation with the hotels.

I have decided to save my Kawaguchiko trip, an overnight train on nobi nobi seats etc for my next Japan trip.
