Working with a tight schedule and trying to see as much as we can like many other people. Just want to make sure its doable and if there is anything we need to reconsider. I did add some timings but we might spend more or less time at each place depending on how we like it. I also tried to group all attractions that are close by together so it’s a little bit of less going back and forth. If Mt. Fuji does not work out due to weather we will just go straight to Kyoto from Tokyo.
