Dear fellow travelers, we would appreciate some advice regarding our 13-day itinerary for Japan which we hope to undertake end of April – start of May. We didn’t know but it coincides with Golden week.
Things we would appreciate is critique regarding whether we are doing too many things (or too little), whether we are spending too much time in one place, any attractions we are missing or if anyone has any suggestions which could help. I would appreciate advice regarding how to best utilize the luggage forwarding service.
