Hi all! My SO and I are seeking insights to flesh out our upcoming trip itinerary please, whether that be any restaurant recs, or potentially even alternative destinations we should consider : \~ ) I would like to add more unique experiences like fun animal cafes maybe??
*A little about us:*
* Huge foodies! Specifically looking for amazing value mom & pop hole in the wall shops, eating at local markets (lol our itinerary is literally seafood/wagyu driven)
* Not huge nature/hiking people
* 14 day JR Pass
* Both been to Japan before so want a mix of big cities and smaller towns
* Both have quite a few and/or big tattoos
Here’s our itinerary so far:
**Tokyo (2 days)**
* Arriving in Tokyo, staying in Shinjuku
* Exploring Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku area
**Toyama (1 day)**
* Planning to take Toyama Buri Kani Bus to Kittokito Market or Himi Banyagai Harbor Market for fresh seafood, not sure if one is better than the other
**Takayama (2 days)**
