Hello I am planning on going on a solo 17 day trip for my college graduation in projected from August 4th-21st. I never flown outside the United States before and I am quite excited for my trip. I did some rough estimates based on research online. I plan to go to Tokyo, Mt Fuji, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Tokyo again . Any recommendations and advice would help!
* These are not exact days for what I would do each day yet, but this is a time frame of what I would do during each days in each city
\- Tokyo 4th-7th Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo Sky tree, Pokémon DX Center, Shinjuku, Studio Ghibli Museum, Suginami Animation Studio, Shibuya Crossing
\- Mt Fuji 7th-11th: Climb Mt Fuji, Explore Aokigahara Forest, and Kawaguchi Asuma-Shrine
\- Kyoto: 12th-16th: Fushimi-Inari hike, Kiyomizu-dera, Explore Pintocho Alley, Shijo-dori, Nintendo Kyoto, Golden Pavilion, Nijo Castle, and Kyoto Imperial Castle
\- Osaka Night 16th-19th: Universal Japan, Glico Man Photo, Nakinmachi, Osaka Castle, ShinSekai exploration, Umeda Sky Building
\- Tokyo-20th-21st: Explore Anything I missed in Tokyo and Prepare to Leave Back to Colorado
I don’t know exact days for specific activities for certain days, but I plan on doing it all. If there are some activities I may be missing out on or should skip let me know!
