My husband, my 2 year old, my mom and I are traveling to Japan in the end of September for 17 days. Flying into Osaka and out from Narita. I’m super nervous now because I just found out I’m pregnant and will be 21 weeks when we fly. Can anyone give me some advice? I heard in Kyoto we will be doing a lot of walking.. should I just skip it Or do a day trip from Osaka instead? I will most likely use luggage forwarding service from the hotel at each destination. I feel like we might be moving around too much?? Any other tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
