21 Day Itinerary check – VERY rough draft

Hey everybody,

I'm planning what will most likely be a solo trip next May. I haven't bought any tickets or…well…done any prep yet, really. I've been looking around at things, finding what I want to see, and just kind of placing things into slots that I think they might fit.

Any suggestions are welcome including hotels, flights, move the trip to another time, etc. Nothing is set in stone. I'm a light otaku and like history and architecture.

Thanks!
