Hi all!
My partner and I are travelling to Japan next February for 15 days. We last came in June 2023 (so from one extreme to another weather-wise!)
In our first trip, we explored:
Tokyo (3 days): Tsukiji market, imperial palace, Ginza, Memory Lane Shinjuku, Hakone day trip, Shibuya, Kappabashi
Sapporo (2 days): Otaru, JR tower sky deck, hill of the buddha, hot springs
Osaka (4 days): Dotonburi, Nara, Himeji, Kobe, Namba Yasaka Shrine
Kyoto (4 days): Nishiki Market, Shijo-Dori Street, Pontocho, Arasiyama Park, Kinkakuji, Fushimi Inari Taisha, Matusbara-Dori Street, Gion district
Yokohama (1 day): Chinatown, Big Gundam
For our second trip, we are flying into Osaka via Hong Kong and are wanting to spend more time in the Kansai region and further west. Considering it is winter, are there any particular things you would recommend seeing/doing? We are active, huge foodies, and love sight seeing. Our holidays tend to be jam-packed with little "relaxing".
All suggestions very much appreciated. Thank you!
