Me (32 M) and my husband (32) are visiting Japan from mid September to the beginning of October for our honeymoon. We love big cities and the urban vibes. Also don't mind visiting touristic places. We both love Disney so that is included in our itin. as well.
The Tokyo days are well planned. For the rest of the days i view this as a list of suggested places we can visit. But mostly we want to do that on a day by day basis. Except for activities that require a reservation.
I know full and well that a plan will always change and I am counting on it to do so. So what i'm looking for is mostly a checkup if i am not spending too much/too little time at a certain place.
Next to a general itinerary check I have a couple of questions:
- What is Japan like for same sex couples?
- Do we need to know do's and dont's as a same sex couple?
- Hoping to visit Nintendo Museum. Is there any news on that?
- Is it necessary to plan out dining locations?
- If i read the reviews/see photo's of the ryokan I see people in provided kimono's(?). I'm dutch and fairly long/big. Will they have sizes available or do i need to communicate this in advance?
