Hello everyone!
Going on a friend’s trip to Japan for the 1st time in July with 6 friends around 25-30yrs old.
We will be landing in Tokyo (hotel in Shibuya area) & staying 4 nights then a day trip to Mount Fuji then to Kyoto & Osaka for 3 full days then back to Tokyo for another 2 full days then departing the next day.
Would love any feedback or recommendations of how we’ve planned our days.
Have booked flight, hotels & USJ so far. Will be booking Shibuya Sky soon & would love to go at sunset hours. Looking into a full day trip tour with a company for Mount Fuji (any recommendations or suggestions welcome)
Thinking about booking a tea ceremony and samurai experience in Kyoto (would love any insights on those experiences)
Will be booking restaurants we can find on table log available soon/have other options planned otherwise.
We’re all interested in food/sightseeing/temples/bar or clubbing on the weekend/shopping!
