Hi! Traveling with an older friend, she has knee and back issues but still wants to explore as much as she could! If you have any recommendations for art, anime (big on anime) makeup, classes/shows/museums, stationary (she LOVES), and ofc food ect that would be easier to access we would appreciate it! We are thinking we might have to skip some shrines because of this mobility issue though. Or travel by foot to avoid a lot of stairs at train stations. No clothes shopping btw!
All I need for traveling around is the suica card on my phone? I don’t want to buy the JR pass since I’m only going from Tokyo to Kyoto for big travel.
