Hi all! My husband and I are very excited to be going Japan in November! This will be our third trip to Japan. Our last trip was November 2019 right before the start of the pandemic. The timing is perfect because I wanted to go one last time before we had a kid. All hotels have been pre booked since April. I will be 5 months pregnant when we travel, so this trip won’t be as packed.
Some days are super light so please let me know if you think there are some places we can add! Thanks!
