This summer we took the road through the Chubu region in Japan. It’s not the Tokyo area (Kanto) and it’s not the Osaka area (Kansai) either, it’s in between! The cute map from lovelyjapan.com will help us at this stage.

So it may be easy to miss but there are many things to see and visit there. We actually took a week long road trip there this summer and I can now give some hints for a future travel of yours :-) Here is the suggested itinerary and I’ll add a day by day review as I manage to free up time.

day 1 Kobe to Nagoya

day 2 Nagoya & Gero Onsen

day 3 Takayama & Shirahone

day 4 Omachi to Renge Onsen

day 5 Toyama to Kurobe

day 6 Kanazawa and Noto

day 7 Drive via Mikatagoko
