Hey everyone, long time follower, first time poster! I’ll be heading to Japan for the first time at the end of May and have an idea of what I’d like to do and wanted to see if the itinerary I’ve written up is realistic at all. I’ve tried to keep things pretty simple and open, as to allow free explanation, and for things to be easily swappable if the mood hits. Basically I didn’t want to be on strict time crunches and be able to freely go about my shopping and exploration. I’ll be going with my sister and the two of us have a major interest in shopping for ourselves and partaking in Otaku culture, so a lot of our list is heavily leaning on shopping as a main thing with some other excursions in between. With that said, here’s the rough plan. Please, I’m opening to hearing thoughts or suggestion and if this is even doable. Thanks!
