Medium pace
If you only have a few days, do one city properly instead of three in a blur. Five nights based in Tokyo, no hotel changes and no bullet trains, with a day in the Hakone hills for the onsen and the Fuji view and a day in seaside Kamakura for the great bronze Buddha.
No hotel changes, no bullet trains. One city done properly, with a day in the hills.
