Questions:
I want to visit Shrines/temples and get familiar with the culture but I don't want to do tooo many of them, especially if they have a similar vibe. Need suggestions on which ones are a must and which ones can be skipped.
Apart from "places to visit", I'm also open to experiences. Any amazing workshops? Any other local experiences in English?
I am a 25 year old female. Not into Anime. Like nature but no hikes. Any suggestions on how I could tweak my itinerary to make the most of my trip? I am open to adding cities by removing days here and there.
Looking forward to help!
