So we’re going to japan in march/April next year for our honeymoon and this is our rough itinerary so far…. Flights have also already been booked and we fly in and out of Narita
17th – Land in Tokyo and explore
18th – Travel from Tokyo to Osaka in the morning/early arvo and explore dinner in Dontonbori district for the neon fun
19th – Momofuku Ando instant ramen museum, Shitennoji temple and Osaka castle, also hopefully sumo spring basho.
20th & 21st – Universal Studios
22nd – Day trip to Nara see the park and temple city
23rd – Day trip to Hiroshima
24th – Hit the shops and pokemon centre before going to Kyoto
25th – Arashiyama bamboo Grove, monkey Park, imperial palace? More exploring
26th – Fushimi inari Taisha shrine, gion to check out geishas and 47 ronin, more exploring
27th – Pokemon centre and head to Oshino Hakkai (any tattoo friendly onsen recommendations?)
28th – Fuji-Q highland then head to Tokyo
In Tokyo from 28th until 6th.
Places we want to see and things we want to do:
– Imperial palace
– Akihabara district
– Disneyland (1 day)
– Ueno park
– Akasaka district
– 47 Ronin
– Pokemon centres
– Kawagoe district
– Teamlab Planets
– Samurai museum
– Super potato
– Nakano Broadway
– Cherry blossoms
– Shrines and temples
– Street food
Not sure on the best lay out for Tokyo yet, if we just stay near Akihabara the entire time or a few nights then somewhere else but is there anything we must see/do?
Do you think a 21 day japan rail pass is worth it or individual tickets?
Thanks!
