Hello! Im visiting Japan from Nov.5 until Nov.17, I've been trying to map a good route to visit all the places we want to go, but being our first time suggestions are not only welcome but needed. I've been struggling to arrange the districts, so this would be what I came up so far:
Nov. 5 Tokyo
- Akihabara
- Ikebukuro (Mostly Sunshine City)
Nov 6. Tokyo
- Roppongi (National Art Center, TeamLab Borderless, Tokyo City View and Shiba Park)
- Sumida (Tokyo Skytree, Pokemon Center, Ushijida Temple)
Nov.7 Day trip to Kanazawa
- Pretty standard Day trip, with visits to the Omicho Market, Kanazawa Castle, Kenrouken garden or the 21st Century art museum
Here, instead of staying in Kanazawa or returning to Tokyo, we would be traveling during the night to Kyoto
Nov.8 Kyoto
- Fushimi Inari temple, trying to arrive as soon as the sun rises.
- Kyomizu-dera
- Gion
Nov.9 Kyoto
- Arishayama Bamboo forest
- Kinkaku-ji
- Here we have an open spot, either going back to Gion or just walking around the city
Nov.10 Osaka
We would be traveling early in the morning to Osaka, to try to take advantage of 2 almost full days
- Osaka Castle
- Dotonbori
- Shinsekai
Nov.11 Osaka
- Katsuo-ji
- Teamlab botanical garden
- We have an open spot here, either we find something to do during the night or we're considering traveling to Tokyo at night.
Nov.12 Tokyo
- Shibuya
- Asaksua
- Ginza
Nov.13 Day trip
- Either to Kamakura or Fujiyoshida
Nov.14 Tokyo
- Shinjuku
- If chance, try to go to Mitaka to the Ghibli Museum
Nov.15 Tokyo
- Gotoku-ji
- Hana Biyori
- Here we really don't know, maybe a night trip around shibuya again?
Nov.16 Tokyo
We really left this day free, we're considering moving it up as another day trip during Tokyo or trying to visit places we felt we didn't explore enough
Nov.17 Trip back to South Korea
I will be spending 2 days before this trip in SK and again 1 day after before returning to my country. So this is what he have so far. We are aware there are some other great places, but we expect to make a trip to Japan again next year, this time focusing more to the north (Toyama, Fukushima, Sapporo, etc.)
I'm struggling trying to decide if it's either too ambitious or if there's a better optimization of our days spent on Tokyo. Any suggestion, recommendation or comment is welcomed and appreciated
