Hello all! As others have stated, appreciate all the help and info I’ve found reading others posts and subsequent comments. We (Wife and I, 32, well traveled) just booked our flights and I initially booked the first 5 nights in Tokyo. Our flight lands at 6pm so the first day is basically useless. I was planning on going towards Osaka and Kyoto after that. A few things I’ve read say to spend most of the time in the Kansai, instead. Is this breakdown of essentially 4 full days in each recommended? Still figuring out the details of the days and day trips but we’re basically going for the food and culture. Not crazy into any one thing in general…. Except food. I’ll summarize below…
1. Is an equal breakdown of 4 days in Tokyo and the Kansai region recommended?
2. What are some must eat restaurants throughout those areas?
3. What site(s) are “must see”? Not huge into touristy stuff but some things are popular for a reason, right?
