I will be in Tokyo for a week in late November. Any recommendations on what nearby cities to see or do. Comfortable with doing the bullet train to Osaka or Kyoto for a 2 day trip

Kyoto, Nikko, and Hakone are especially famous for autumn foliage . You’ll likely catch the peak or near-peak colors.

Try to book trains and accommodations early since leaf season is very popular.

Kyoto is said to be touristy but we loved it as a diversion.

We just did Tokyo, Kanazawa, Kyoto and Osaka. Everyone in the family loved Kanazawa - it’s kind of like a quieter Kyoto with beautiful shrines / temples, a fish / food market, fun activities (we took a Kendo class) and some great restaurants. You can also do a half-day trip from there to Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO site. Highly recommend.

We also loved Osaka - very walkable or navigable by subway, and the Namba / Dotonburi areas were fun.

I was underwhelmed by Kyoto. Yes, it has some very famous beautiful shrines, but it also is a pretty decently sized city (1.2 million people) and not particularly charming overall.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
