I will do this in 2 (3) big trips using seishun 18 kippu, local trains, so I can make many stops without paying much money.
1. From Tokyo to Sapporo via Iwate and Aomori, visiting Akita on the way back. 5 days
2. From Tokyo to Osaka, base myself in Osaka whilst visiting places in Mie and Wakayama.
Then head towards Okayama and cross over to Shikoku. Circle the island visiting Kagawa, Tokushima, Kochi and Ehime.
Back to Okayama and head towards Fukuoka via Yamaguchi.
Once at Fukuoka, loop around kyushu visiting Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Kagoshima, Miyazaki and Oita finally arriving back in Fukuoka.
From Fukuoka back to Tokyo via the last two prefectures on my list Shimane and Tottori! 2 weeks.
3. Okinawa – I want to visit here, but I’m going to leave this out of my goal for now as it is inaccessible by train.
