Go before 7am or after 6pm to avoid crowds. Sumiyoshi-taisha nearby for a quieter shrine. The summit loop is ~4km/2hrs and most people turn back early. To-r gates lit at dusk are gorgeous. Post on SENBON TORII.

    Japan trip — draft itinerary

    14 days, Oct 8–22. Tokyo (3 days: Shinjuku, Shibuya, Senso-ji, teamLab) → Hakone ryokan (2 days, Mount Fuji view, onsen) → Kyoto (4 days: Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama, Kinkaku-ji, Nishiki Market) → Osaka (2 days: Dotonbori, Osaka Castle, USJ?) → Nara day trip → back to Tokyo for 2 days (shopping: Marunouchi, Ginza). Buffer day in Tokyo before flight.

    Hakone ryokan — Gora Kadan

    Traditional ryokan with private onsen in-room. Half-board kaiseki dinner included. Mountain views, gardens. ~$480/night for two. 90 min from Tokyo via Odakyu Romancecar. Seasonal reservation windows open 6 months ahead.

    Group chat — Japan partners

    Tom & Priya confirmed for Kyoto leg (Oct 11–14). Alex might join Tokyo first 3 days. Everyone chill with the ryokan night being spendy. Tentative: split a day in Osaka doing a food crawl, skip USJ. Will finalize split once base itinerary is locked.

    JR East rail pass calculation

    14-day nationwide pass: ¥72,900 (~$485). Tokyo→Kyoto Shinkansen round trip alone: ¥27,320. Adding Kyoto→Osaka, Osaka→Nara, and the Hakone detour pushes the math close — pass saves ~¥9,000 total. Worth it if I add Kiso Valley stop. Otherwise regional West pass cheaper.
