Hey everyone.
We’re here to share our planned 24-day trip to Japan at the end of March. As first-time visitors, our list is packed with places to explore and experiences to soak in. The plan is to take in as much as possible, but we also don’t want to overburden ourselves and enjoy our time. We’ve already committed to the main destinations for each day, so if time is running short, we’re willing to make compromises.
We still need to book our accommodations and are also looking for a private in-room onsen in Hakone, as both of us have tattoos.
Whether it’s recommendations, route critiques, or advice on the best train passes, we’re open to all your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
