Hello! We found this community about 6 months ago and have found it incredibly helpful and informative. Now we’re officially planning our own trip for late fall of this year and are looking for thoughts or suggestions on if our itinerary is doable. We’re also looking for any food recommendations!
We’re a young couple that’s never been to Japan before. We’re huge foodies and have noted some restaurants that we’d want to visit but are really flexible; we just want to have a plan to deviate from if we need to.
Beyond that we’re trying to understand if our trip layout makes sense and also if anyone has any experience skiing in Japan and if that would be something we could work in here at all.
Thank you!
