Hey everyone, me and my friend are visiting Japan in mid august-early September. We are big drinkers (mostly beer) when on vacation and are likely to be hitting bars almost every night with some clubs mixed in. I have tried not to pack our schedule too much as I know it’s busy that time of year and it will also be quite hot. We also like to wander around cities a lot.
We will probably eat in konbini for breakfast every day and casual restaurants for lunch. For dinners we will likely eat in mid range restaurants each evening but we would like to go to a higher end sushi omakase restaurant at least one night and a high end wagyu place another. Nothing set in stone in this regard.
Our planned budget is around ¥700,000-¥1,200,000 per person for the entire trip excluding flights and accommodation
Any feedback is welcome!
