Itinerary Check. 2 Weeks. Tokyo – Okinawa – Kyoto

Hello, I’m a solo female traveler with a dodgy right leg. Please let me know if any of these involve a steep incline or lots of stairs. My focus this trip is on nerdy stuff, culture and local/trendy food. So recommendations welcomed for weird and unusual attractions or cafes in the same areas. Especially for Okinawa since I’m not too happy with my two days plan.

I was lucky enough to get the harder reservations and tickets today so switched things around to accommodate for them.

My Route is Tokyo => Okinawa => Kyoto =>Home (one way trip) Early March.
