This will be my first trip to Japan so I would like to get as much done as possible! Day 1 – 7 will be spent in Seoul and Busan.
I was wondering if were spending too long in Tokyo? We enjoy exploring cities, but then is a cultural spot better?
Please feel free to make any other suggestions and/or changes you would recommend.
