3.5-week itinerary 

Day 1: Arrival

Most people will arrive at Tokyo at first and for me that is the perfect start to this great country as well. Most people will have a jetlag so in the first day I will not do too much so you have a rest. Depending the time of arrival, you can visit a site in te neighborhood of your accommodation and have a nice dinner. 

Day 2 - 5: Tokyo

Tokyo is the famous capital of Japan and it has so many highlights that it is impossible to discover all the fantastic locations. In my opinion the best way to discover the city is to explore it neighbourhood for neighbourhood with the highlights in it. . You can visit 1-3 per day depending on which one. The most important ones to visit are Shibuya, Shinjuku, Asakusa, Yanaka, and Akihabara. Do not forget to do a sumo training and the early visit to the Toyusu market for the tuna auction. Below I have a page about the details of the things to do in Tokyo per are:

Day 6: Tokyo - Hakone

Today you can take the trip to Hakone from Shinjuku station with the Hakone Free Pass. You can do this throughout the day. You have the option to go in the morning and have relaxed day in Hakone to visit a onsen (often in the ryokans and accommodations here). I would recommend visiting Toyosu in the morning with the Toyosu Market and Teamlab Planets. Afterwards you can go to Hakone in 2.5 hours by public transportation. 

Day 7: Hakone Loop

Today you should do the Hakone Loop to discover this area. If you are lucky, you will have a view of Mount Fuji. To do this loop you will take the scenic train, cable car, ropeway, boat, hike and bus. This is a fantastic loop to do. In the evening you can relax and head to an onsen.
