This is what I have so far… There are 3 of us. So far I am the only one doing the planning and its difficult lol. One friend is interested in night life and I think Osaka might be where we would be bar hopping… Any recommendations or adjustments are welcome ! I am having trouble filling up spots for Osaka and mostly Kyoto… And understanding the logistics from timing and travel time. I appreciate any feedback.
