6 comments

1. Hi all! I’m 22M and I’m taking my first trip to Japan for all of July! Itinerary below – mostly though, looking for someone (any age or gender identity) who wants to join me for a Pokémon cafe reservation in Tokyo that I made for 2 the 1st of July at dinnertime. I’m also hiking Fuji on July 5th+6th and will be doing a 3 day hiking loop in the northern alps from July 19th-21st. If anyone wants to join for those or just has overlapping days with me and wants to meet up please lmk! Also since I know meeting redditors is probably scary for some (like me), feel free to dm me and we can chat to see if we get along – no pressure! Looking forward to hopefully connecting with other travelers!

   Itinerary:

   Tokyo 1st leg Jun 30th – July 2nd

   Hakone July 3rd+4th

   Fuji+Kawaguchiko July 4th-6th

   Kyoto July 7th-10th

   Nara July 11th

   Osaka July 12th-14th

   Nagoya July 15th-18th

   Hiroshima July 23rd-25th

   Tokyo 2nd leg July 25th-29th

2. Hey Guys! 25 M from Canada- Doing a 10 day trip Tokyo Osaka Kyoto on the second week of July. Speak Hindi- Punjabi as welll. Alsoooo I do a lot of film photography and would love to do shoots with people in cool areas if anyone’s down!

3. Hey! 25M solo traveler from Singapore, I’ll be in Kyoto from 30/6 – 5/7 and Osaka until 9/7. Honestly pretty laid back on my itinerary, travelling to Japan has been a dream of mine and I’m just happy to go around taking cute or nice pictures wherever I go. So I’m perfectly fine accompanying someone else who wants a companion for their travels for a bit! Otherwise, I’d like to hopefully visit a few shrines near my accommodations, go for hikes (though it’ll be hot/rainy), and generally experience/observe Japanese culture (except its clubbing part). My main goal in Japan is just to take a ton of pictures, so if you’re interested in that as well, hit me up (I’m a novice at it though)! I speak English, as well as a tiny little bit of Japanese. I’d be happy to exchange socials!

4. Kon Ba Wa! 42F from California, Heading to Tokyo from 30 June to 7 July. Are there any expat traditions for 4th of July?

5. Kyoto for Gion Matsuri 16 to 20 July, a few days Kumano Kodo region before that. Into photography, food, cafes, bit of doodling, literature, architecture, haiku, speak very basic Japanese, German, bit of French Italian Russian. Mid Forties solo travel on moderate budget, any nice company for cafe, short hikes, Matsuri fun, cycling trips much appreciated. I booked Saiho-ji but would be interested in any tea ceremony, calligraphy, wagashi cooking class for a half day but too self-conscious to pitch up on my own.

6. Hi everybody, I am a 23M solo traveler and will embark on my first solo journey next week. I am from the Netherlands and speak dutch and english. My main focus will be culture, food, and photography. I will be in japan from the 4th of July until the 19th of July. My basic itinerary is:

   9th-12th in kyoto

   12th-15th in osaka

   15th-17th Hiroshima

   17th-18th Miyajima (maybe)

   then 18th back to tokyo for one last night there, I will fly back the 19th at 20:00
