Your Name

08:30–11:00 · Yotsuya → Suga stairs → Shinanomachi footbridge. Start with your favourite scenes and leave time for photos. These are suggested planning times, not bookings or measured walking times. Keep the stairs and residential entrances clear at Suga.

11:00–15:00 · JR from Shinanomachi to Shinjuku, a lunch break, then south exit (Lumine 2) → police-station crossing → Shintoshin footbridge. La Bohème is an optional detour towards Shinjuku Gyoen: if you choose it, shorten the walk rather than adding a second meal.

From 15:00 · Walk to Tochōmae and take the Oedo line to Roppongi. Tokyo City View is the main visit: allow 1–2 h and follow your ticket time. The National Art Center is optional and normally closes at 18:00; fit it before the observation deck only if time allows. Return to Shinjuku for the night. In rain or poor visibility, keep the scene walk and decide whether the paid deck is worthwhile.

Morning · Shinjuku → Tokyo Station → Nagoya → Hida-Furukawa. The rail reference from Tokyo is around 4 h 30 min; allow a 5–6 h block from your lodging for station access, the connection and food. This is a planning allowance. Book a workable connection and confirm that your Hida serves Hida-Furukawa.

Afternoon · Leave your luggage, confirm dinner arrangements and take a relaxed walk in central Hida-Furukawa. Keep the library for tomorrow; if it will be closed tomorrow and is open today, bring it forward before the 17:00 photography cutoff. Both nights are in Hida-Furukawa. Staying in Takayama requires additional travel arrangements and fares.

Morning · Hida-Furukawa Station → library → centre and lunch. The city cites 09:57 for two trains together, based on August 2026 information: confirm locally and do not treat it as guaranteed. The library is about a 7-minute walk from the station; ask permission before taking photos and finish photography before 17:00.

Afternoon · Keta Wakamiya and back to the centre. Allow half a day for the essential loop with breaks; the shrine is about a 14–15-minute walk from the station and has stairs. If you need step-free access, check before leaving. Add Ochiai only with a planned round trip; otherwise enjoy the town at a relaxed pace.

• Hida-Furukawa Station — arriving in Hida (Gifu) — Hida’s official route gives an approximately 7-minute walk between the library and station. The track footbridge is a viewing point; stay in public areas and follow railway instructions.
• Hida City Library — the Itomori records (Gifu) — request permission at the desk before taking photos; photography until 17:00. Check the opening calendar
• Keta Wakamiya Shrine — asking around (Gifu) — the stairs where Taki asks about his sketch · ~15 min walk from the station
• Ochiai bus stop — no leads · optional (Gifu) — optional detour: arrange the outward and return journey before leaving; taxi or bus fares are not separately budgeted

Hida-Furukawa → Nagoya → Tokyo Station. Book the return first and keep a free morning for another photo or a walk near your lodging. Again allow around 4 h 30 min by rail plus connection margin. Do not add Ochiai before the return or plan a tight international flight connection. Budget any following night in Tokyo separately.
