Hi everyone! I am a 21F and this is my first time going to Japan! I’ll be going mid-may for two weeks. I’ll be in Tokyo for one week and Osaka for another with a few days in Kyoto. I put my itinerary below but I’m not sure if it’s too packed? Not packed enough? Missing essential Japan things that I need to see? I’ve been stressing out to no end about this trip. I’m using fiverr to book the ghibli museum, pokemon cafe and kirby cafe, and it seems like I don’t need to worry too much about the other things I need to reserve but idk. I’m clueless. I’m going with two friends and have sort of taken over the planning process because they can’t plan a trip to save their lives. I am a huge sanrio and pokemon fan, love ghibli movies, and am really really excited about the onsens. Also big fan of aquariums (but the people I’m going with don’t really care so it’s more about convenience) Please help if at all possible!
