-> some notes would be that my bf and I honestly do not mind what we do in Japan other than to explore and our only key marks we’d like to hit is: an Onsen near Mt. Fuji, Tokyo Disney, Cherry Blossoms, and to go bar hopping for a night <-
I’m not familiar with Japan so I would like to avoid being stressed out by having deadlines on dates and having to hit everything at a certain time.
Thanks for any help!
