I'm off to Tokyo for work in mid-September, and am looking at booking a week or so off beforehand to spend some extra time out there. Sadly that's probably all I can get off at the moment, or I'd have been keen to take more.
My work (therefore my flights) will be to/from Tokyo. With a week off, am I therefore best off staying around there? I'm not a particularly big city person, and would love to visit some of the quieter islands or at least get up into the mountains. I'm also keen to head to Kyoto, although my understanding is that, with the train, that can almost be a day trip or a quick overnight. What do people recommend?
