Hi everyone. I am 31 (F) and travelling with my husband (31 M) to Japan for the first time. My travel dates are from 23rd to 30th March 2024. It’s a short 7-day trip and I am hoping to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Nara. I understand it’s a short duration trip but I want to make the most of it. Hoping to spot Cherry Blossoms too!
Also, a little context: We are covering South Korea as a part of this trip. We will be going to Seoul and Jeju first and then flying in to Tokyo from there. (Hoping to see Cherry Blossoms at both places , just increasing our chances!). We both like to explore local streets, random picturesque places more than architecture in general. However, since Japan had so much places as ‘must visits’ on social media, it’s slightly overwhelming to plan. Pls suggest if the itinerary need any improvement basis our preference.
Thank you!
