Question:
Answer:
I used to live in Kyoto =]. Kyoto has a lot of great places to see! I really recommend going to Kiyomizu Dera (Kiyomize Temple) when the leaves are red at night (they will have special light-up nights in Fall). They give out sightseeing maps in the Kyoto Station if you want to know the great locations.
Tokyo Disneyland in Chiba is also a must xD It's practically the best Disneyland in the world.
Hiroshima has my highest recommendation! Miyajima (island) is very beautiful and fun. The atomic bomb memorial museum is also very good.. although somewhat depressing and scary.
The most important thing, of course, is to eat aaaall the good food~ Osaka has okonomiyaki, yakisoba and takoyaki (there's a takoyaki museum in Universal City, check it out!), Kyoto has delicious Udon (Tanuki Udon is my favorite), Tokyo has all sorts of food, Nagoya has many kinds of food to DIE for (tebasaki = chicken wings = amazing), etc. I suggest that you buy some biscuit snacks while you are there, most brands are very delicious and go great with tea. Watch out though, don't get sushi in non-coastal or average sushi restaurants (not so good).
Also, shopping! When you go to Kyoto, you should check out the basement shopping centre in front of Kyoto Station (train station). I think it's somewhat underrated. The one in front of Nagoya station also has good shoe stores that sell cheap.
You might think that these locations are all over the place, but it's really easy to travel to these locations! You can go to all of those on the Shinkansen bullet train. I recommend you getting a JR Pass, which let you board almost all JR public transportations. They're only available for foreigners (maybe just tourists, I'm not sure). They're quite worth it since Shinkansen tickets are expensive. Link: http://www.japanrailpass.net/eng/en001.h…
With JR, you might plot a route like Tokyo -> Chiba (Disneyland) -> Nagoya -> Kyoto -> Hiroshima.
This answer is quite all over the place, but I hope it helps! =]
