Hello all! My wife and I will be traveling to Japan from the January 24th 2023 to the February 18th 2023. Here is what we have for an itinerary with the primary points/activities of interest listed.

It seems like the 21 day rail pass might be worth it based on the calculators [Japan-Guide](https://www.japan-guide.com/railpass/) and [JRPass](https://www.jrpass.com/farecalculator/137.95/38.66/5/iM3pAMAyAp7rmQZrBdmr6dHuAdEympLnmhZqAdmp6dDnmMAymG3umtZrBdDo6dHumpEyAp7rmQZtmp3ni7==)

hmm ok i’ll give this a shot.
had to google muscle girl bar… well that’s somewhere i’d like to go.
do not skip the museums in UENO park, they are amazing.
I don’t think you’ll have time for akiruno. sun sets at like 4pm
hakone get the hakone freepass (it’s not free)

do the loop, it’s the best part of hakone
definitely visit nara, todai-ji will be a highlight of your trip, sooo massive.
sorry no experience with the rest. wanna see beppu though
