Hi my friends,
​
everything has been booked and approved now. Our Wedding date is set and we will have our flight to Japan on 23.03.2023 (a lot of 3s). We will land in Narita Airport. Now my beloved is not vaccinated due to health issues and need to do a PCR test. We hope everything works out!
**Our interest:**
I have been to japan once before in 2019 and will be doing a lot of repeat sighting. As for my fiancee, it’s her first time.
We both love adventour as well as quite places to relax. We love nature, sights and culture.
We are big on food and love to try out as much as possible without big spending. We love tea and she loves coffee.

Hope it is readable. Hotels can be cancelled if necessary. Kansai+Chugoku Days can be interchanged since we use the 14 Day Jr Pass.
Choosing two different Hotels in some places is because of cost. We wanted to save some money or else I wouldn’t have been doing it that way.

Following this thread for advice lol
The two Okayama days are strange. First I would focus on Okayama and if you want to add something, maybe Kurashiki. Going to Imabari to ga a bit of cycling on the shimanami kaido… why not do that from Onomichi? Like rent bikes in Onomichi, cycle to innoshima or ikuchijima and return to Onomichi by boat, Onomichi is also a lovely place si you can try to spend some time there.
