I'm travelling to Japan in October with a couple mates, just wondering which activities would be urgent to book, should book but isn't necessary and don't need to book at all? Below is my itinerary which I hope won't be too much of a mess to read on Reddit. Also, if it's not too much to ask here; I would appreciate recommendations on places to go and/or whether I should swap stuff around in the itinerary, I have posted in here before and people were really helpful so would love more advice for a first time traveler
