The full golden route at a two-week pace — the length most travellers wish they had booked. Four days for Tokyo's two faces and a Kamakura sea day, an onsen ryokan night under Hakone's mountains, four days for Kyoto and Nara done properly instead of at a run, then the white castle of Himeji, Kurashiki's canal quarter, Hiroshima's Peace Park, the floating torii of Miyajima at high tide — and a Dotonbori finale in Osaka. One guide, one thread, no doubling back.
