Hi there!
I am visiting Japan with my partner for the first time March next year and have started to build a 19 day itinerary. I think we are pretty set on where we are going, the things we want to do and have hotels booked for each night, but open to adjusting this slightly if necessary. We’re interested in exploring as much as we can, eating a lot of varied traditional dishes, but we’re not too much bothered about shopping.
A brief overview: land in Tokyo (stay 1 night), travel to Osaka (4 nights), then onto Kyoto (4 nights), travel to Fujikawaguchiko (2 nights), and finally back to Tokyo (7 nights) for the remainder of the trip.
Please let me know if what we have planned is doable (especially the Kyoto days) or anything extra we can add to our itinerary. Your advice and help would be much appreciated, thank you!
