Hi guys this is what I've planned so far for our 10 day trip in Japan for me and my husband. Is this doable or lol too much packed within each day? Also I'm debating to get a JR pass for 7 days since we're doing quite a few day trips but let me know if there are better alternative modes of transportation that's cheaper yet not too time consuming.
Also checking in if it's worth or doable getting cheap glasses within the 10 days in Japan? I've got quite a high prescription about -9.5 & -8.5 so was hoping to get thin lenses too but hear it might take some time for the glasses store to make them. But would sure want to try since I do hear it's way cheaper in Japan compared to Canada. Just not sure how much the glasses are usually around with glass and lenses?
