Hi! I’ll be going on a solo trip very very soon, and I’m quite excited. I’d love some feedback on the itinerary, it’s around Feb second week onwards
Kyoto
Day 1- Get into the country at Osaka, reach Kyoto and check in. Explore areas around by walking
Day 2- Walk around Gion district early morning, see about Kimono rentals and shoot, drink tea, eat mochi, visit a shrine. Walk along the philosophers path
Day 3- check out Yokai street and more of Kyoto. Travel to Yamashina to see the fire rites festival
Day 4- Day trip to Uji
Day 5- Travel to Nara to see the mochi get beaten. Visit Toei park, fly to Tokyo
Tokyo
Day 6- Visit Shibuya, see the jjk exhibition, Go to the Tokyo Sky Tree
Day 7- Akihabara and Shinjuku
Day 8- Nakano broadway & Ghibli museum
Day 9- Fuji Q highland, lake Kawaguchiko winter fireworks from 8pm. Stay overnight (Fuji Q can be replaced by various museums around Kawaguchiko)
Day 10- Travel back to Tokyo, head directly to airport. (Luggage should already be sent ahead)
I’ll be missing the Kawazu cherry blossoms, but im not sure if/what to remove anything to add it in. Would a day trip to Otaru from Tokyo also be feasible or better than
Lake Kawaguchiko? Comments appreciated
