Hi everyone! I'd love to get some feedback on our vacation plan for Tokyo and Kawaguchiko. It'll be our first time visiting the Kanto region, so we want to make the most of it.
There are two main things we're curious about:
- Is our schedule too packed? ( I put the ⚠️ emoji where I have some concerns )
- Are there any must-see spots around Tokyo and Kawaguchiko that we might be missing?
We'd really appreciate any other tips or suggestions too!
