Planning my next Japan trip

Its my 3rd trip to Japan, and still i will be hanging around the Nagano area.
As much as i want to move out to the north like kyushu, hokkaido, fukouka but it is such a pity to give up Nagano in Winter.

So here's my final plan for the trip.

Fri 15 Jan              Arrived Tokyo 730 – Train to hotel
Sat 16 Jan            From Tokyo to Karuizawa
Sun 17 Jan           Karuizawa to Yamanouchi(Yudanaka)
Mon 18 Jan         Yamanouchi to Takayama to Shirakawa Go
Tues 19 Jan         Shiraka wa go to Ainokura to Takyama
Wed 20 Jan         Takayama to Kiso Valley
Thurs 21 Jan       Kiso Valley to Tokyo
Fri 22 Jan              Tokyo to Yokohama to Kamakura
Sat 23 Jan            Day trip To Nikko
Sun 24 Jan           Kawagoe (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6500.html), Back to SG 

Shirakawa go is one of the most troublesome of all the visit, in terms of accomodation. I had to reshuffle my plans to fit into it. I guess it will be all worth it
