Hello! I wanted to share my draft itinerary, any comments and suggestions for places to go, are welcomed!
I am travelling in middle of Sept with my gf to Kyoto and Osaka, with a little bit of Tokyo near the end of our trip. Don’t have the restaurants planned yet but we don’t mind just stopping by anywhere whenever we feel hungry. If theres any restaurants you think we should try, please let us know!
We also wanted to visit Ghibli Park in Nagoya but the premium tickets were all sold out. Does anyone know if they will put up tickets back on sale if some customers decide they can’t go anymore? I have been checking constantly but nothing so far.
