Hey there, I’ll be flying to Japan for the first time beginning of April as part of my honeymoon. I’ve planned our itinerary already and would like someone to sense check it.
We’re used to traveling to big cities so we don’t mind a busy day. We’re also not the biggest fans of cafe hopping or extensive shopping so I left that out on purpose.
Any input from you guys is highly welcomed. Thanks everyone 🙂
