Japan is very friendly for self-guided travel. A family of three really doesn't need a package tour. We planned a two-week self-guided trip to Japan during the summer vacation. I believe that travelers who love independent travel have probably been to Japan more than once. Same as us—we've been to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. So this time, we mainly wanted to visit other trendy spots: the Izu Peninsula, the scenic and beginner-friendly hiking paradise Kamikochi, Togakushi Shrine in Nagano Prefecture, and Happo-ike in Hakuba Village. So we chose to enter from Kyoto and return from Tokyo, so we didn't have to backtrack. There are many airlines in Tokyo and Osaka, so this combination of tickets was even cheaper than a round trip. We departed from Shanghai to Kyoto on June 30th, and returned from Tokyo to Shanghai on July 13th.
