Hello! My girlfriend and I will be going to Japan mid-end of November this year. We have been trying to plan our itinerary but as it will be our first time in Japan, we’ve been struggling a bit. Any suggestions would be more than welcome.
I’ve put below our itinerary. We’ve changed it a few times and decided to do Osaka straight after Tokyo to give us more flexibility in case we need more time in Tokyo, we could skip the day in Osaka and only have two evenings there.
We’re quite keen on seeing the autumn foliage as well, so hoping the timing will work out.
