Japan Itinerary check ( Tokyo – Kyoto – Hakone – Tokyo)

Hi Guys,

Me and the misses are planning our trip to Japan ( FINALLY!!!!) We’re extremelly excited to finally visit the land of the Rising Sun, It’s been at the top of our travel bucket list for a LONG time and we put together this Itinerary after a lot of videos/posts. We’re fully aware that Japan isn’t a place where you visit only once so we Mainly focussed on the most common places first. Please, let me know what are your opinions about it. We’re not sure whether we have too much, too little or it’s reasonable. Any Advice is Greatly appreciated.

**Day 1** \- Arrive at Narita airport at 1:30pm and head to the hotel to rest. We will be probably extremelly jet legged as we’re flying from Dublin – Ireland.
