This will be my partner's first trip to Japan and my second, though my first trip was only spent in Hokkaido. I've left most days relatively open to exploring, but to be clear I have a Wanderlog filled with some 200+ places. The idea being that, with some exceptions, we can open up the app for recommendations depending on where we're at that day.
I am wondering if I am still trying to do too much here, especially for Tokyo and all of the different
neighborhoods. All hotels have been booked already except for our last night in Tokyo. We're hoping to get a nicer hotel ($300-$400usd) with a convenient location to get to Narita for our final stay.
