Hi all, I finally made up my plan for Japan and would like to get your opinion on this:
\- is this too much?
\- what can we discard and what is unmissable? My son won’t be willing to walk that much so we have to be flexible
\- are we missing anything in the area
We are a couple around 40 yo with a 5 yo son. We’re interested in see the quintessential Japan things, food and possibly having as much interaction with the locals as possible.
So far we have only bought the plane tickets from Italy. Thank you for your support!
