Hello,
So i’m going to go to japan from 4th of july (arrive the 5th at 6a.m) to the 14th of august. I made some plans but i don’t know how realisable is it, i tried to do things that i really wanted and have some time in some places. But it will really help me to have some opinions. I know a lot of my plans may change if i’m to tired to wake up early or just learn about cool places during my trip or just missing my trains so some days are kinda count for now as free days.
Also I’m a 20 yo person, with skills in japanese and travelling alone, backpacking.
Sorry for possibles mistakes i’m not a native english speaker 🙂
edit : i tried to put space for making it ok to read but didn’t succeed at the end when publishing. Sorry pals..
