This plan uses the "Kanto-Chubu-Kansai" golden triangle route, controls the daily driving time to less than 3 hours, and arranges 2 main attractions + free exploration time every day, which is especially suitable for traveling with the elderly. Hot springs are arranged in the middle and end of the trip to help relieve fatigue. The budget already includes cultural experiences that the elders love (tea ceremony/kimono) and a moderate amount of shopping time.
