I’m going for 2 weeks very soon with my wife and it’s our first time doing such a big trip so would appreciate any feedback or advice! We speak zero Japanese btw.
I have a lot of empty space throughout the day and don’t have many specific restaurants picked. Thought I’d just wander around in-between planned things but I might have too much empty space? Figured I’d just eat at random restaurants near me via google when I was hungry.
Also looking for a private onsen day trip that allows tattoos (like everyone else), but having a little trouble finding ones that aren’t too far and have an English website.
Thanks!
