Just wanted to hear some thoughts on my itinerary. I am not the type of person that stays many hours at some place so this may look like a bit… optimistic lol. Visiting Japan has been my dream for about 20 years already and I have made a lot of plans for it. Very anime, pokemon, nintendo-fan here. And I don’t really bother about walking up early and going to bed late – I will have time to rest later.
