Hi there,
My wife and I (27) are going to Japan for the first time this November, we are looking for some opinions on our current itinerary for our trip. Would be good to get some feedback, we have been using Wanderlog to plan various bits. We are both really excited to visit but like many before are worried we might be trying to get too much in the itinerary, we both prefer more adventure holidays than relaxing so travelling around a lot doesn't worry us too much.
