Japan- Hiroshima-Miyajima-Himeji-Naoshima + 2 mountains?
 

Hello Travelers,

My family, 2 adults and 2 teenage boys, are visitng family in Shimonoseki. We are going to use the JR Sanyo 4 day pass to explore a little. Here is a possible plan.

Sunday travel to Hiroshima and visit the Peace Park and the museum. In the mid afternoon take the JR ferry to Miyajima and visit the Itsukushima Shrine. We are staying the night at a ryokan on the island.

Monday take the cable car to the top of Mt. Misen. We will leave in the late afternoon and go to Himeji and stay the night.

Tuesday watch the restoration of Himeji castle and maybe visit Mt. Shozan temple Engyo-ji. Taking a late afternoon train to Uno and stay the night.

Wednesday take a morning ferry to Naoshima Island and spend the day with the Art. In the evening take train back to Shimonoseki to relax for a few days visiting Japanese family.

Mt. Mosen AND Mt. Shozan. Too much?

I welcome any advice or thoughts on any part of my plan. Thanks.

Sounds like a fun trip. When?

I don't know why two mountains would be too much considering that you are taking a cable car up at least one of them.

Will you be stopping in Okayama? Are you sure the ryokan is open on Sunday night? It probably is. I guess you would check in, arrange the meal time, and then visit the shrine.
