last 3 days are open as I'm not 100% sure what else I want to do, see. I'm toying with the idea for the nakasendo trail but got quite confused with the whole trail with how much there is as I don't think my feet would handle such a trek after all the other days. I'm interested to have a day to geek out with hard off stores and perhaps a half day for pokemon go aswell so Interested to know what stores perhaps others have been to or what local areas have a good pokemon go area. That still leaves me with 1 day that I'm unsure of what to do. Any recommendations for food also would go a really long way as I've got a few places on my radar. I've nearly done my registering for immigration to get my qr code just haven't finished planning accommodations yet.
Thanks in advance!
