Hi all!
This is my wife’s and I first time in Japan and I’m looking for feedback on our itinerary. We’ll be doing Tokyo – Osaka – Kyoto – (Fujiyoshida? maybe)
I have a lot of questions. Is this itinerary ok? I’m not sure specially on the last days. Should I spend more time in Kyoto or Osaka and less in Fujiyoshida? Am I not getting the full potential of the *travel between cities days*? I’m staying in Shinjuku are in Tokyo, is that good for this itinerary? As it is our first time I’m focusing a lot on transportation because I think it will be the main difficulty there. 😅 I’m open to your suggestions as well as advices.
