Hello,
My mom and I will be traveling to Japan this upcoming November. It will be my third time in the past few years, but my mom's first time in a long while. I wanted to show her the biggest highlights to showcase the best that Japan has to offer, so I'm taking her to the big three cities. Anyways, here is my rough itinerary that I would love for you guys to mull through and tell me where I can improve! Thank you in advance.
11/12 – Flight from LAX to HND
11/13 – Remainder of day will try to visit Shibuya Sky and Harajuku, get situated in our hotel and look around Tokyo
11/14 – Meiji Jingu Shrine, Akihabara, TeamLab Borderless
11/15 – Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Senso-ji Temple, Pokemon Center (Pokemon Cafe if we can get a reservation)
11/16 – either day trip to Kamakura or Nikko (Kamakura mainly for the beaches and Nikko for the waterfalls)
11/17 – travel to Kyoto, check out Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Gion
11/18 – Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Fushimi Inari Shrine
11/19 – travel to Osaka, check out Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori
11/20 – trip to Kyoto Nintendo Museum, Nara Park if we have leftover time
11/21 – return to Tokyo and fly back home from HND to LAX
We will try to budget ourselves to everything between us being within $5k USD.
