Hi all, I'd love to get some help with the itinerary we've created for our 2 weeks stay in Tokyo with 3/4 days in Kyoto/Osaka. We're kind of thinking of swapping some of what we have or even better, further squeeze in some actual activities/tours as 90% of what we have is exploring, sightseeing and visiting.
Besides that, does this itinerary make sense? We've tried to keep things linked in terms of distance per day as well as variation in what we do.
