Japan Spring or Autumn Itinerary comments please

[Sallyandtex]

Hi,

 

Thinking of a cruise to Japan.

Please see images, #1 Spring ports, #2 Autumn. Please comment if you have done these and which you would choose.

Approx $1000 cheaper for Autumn,  plus less crowds?

 

Thanks!

Very generally speaking, the weather should be far nicer in the Autumn.

You could get lucky or unlucky at either time, but the odds are better for Autumn.

Thanks,  that's what we were thinking. Do you think we could do the places missing on the 2nd itinerary like Hiroshima, Himeji easily from another port, or even from Toyko?

We have only been to Tokyo  before for a 3 day stopover, so unfamiliar with what might be achievable with an extra stay based somewhere to see more of this beautiful country.
