Hello, everyone! I’m visiting Japan for the first time the first two weeks of July (16 days total) and I’m planning to spend most of my time in Tokyo and Kyoto, I don’t want to rush, just explore the cities. However, I’d like to make day trips to visit other cities such as Nara. I’d love to go to places like Shirakawa or Miyajima, but they happen to be so far, I’ve seen it can take 5 hours or more to get there. So, I want to ask you: are there other beautiful towns I can visit, that are maybe up to 2 or 3 hours away? Should I take some time to visit places like Shirakawa even if they’re that far or maybe should I leave them for another time I visit Japan?

Thanks for your help!
