I'm in early stages of planning a trip at the end of November 2024. We'll go back to Tokyo and TDR, of course, but since last time we went we focused on cities (Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo), this time the idea is to roam a bit more to enjoy the fall colors and visit smaller towns and parks.
I think it would probably be easier, having to change hotel most nights, to rent a car rather than using public transport. Last time we had the Japan Rail Pass and it was excellent, but I can see the car being the best solution.
Any comment? I plan to use Google maps with a local SIM for getting directions. I know we'll need an international driving license.
Also, have you made a similar trip for the Fall colors and can you recommend an itinerary?
Thank you!
