My friends and I will be traveling to Japan from May 18 to June 3. There are 6 of us total and it is all of our first time in Japan. Here is our itinerary! Any suggestions or advice are greatly appreciated, especially on day 6 and 7.
I should mention that we are not super interested in shrines and temples which is why we are only visiting them in Kyoto. We are also big foodies so please mention any suggestions you have!
