Hello! we are two 30 years old, first timers in Japan. We wanted to do our honeymoon in Japan but Covid got that delayed, so here we are after 3 years.
We are planning a trip of 21 days, one of us wants to see all the big cities, loves photography, animes, and all the nerd stuff, the other likes the idea of onsens and rural Japan. It’s between the month of April and May.
The itinerary that we made is based primarily on internet research, the thing we are focusing is getting the itinerary right, what we would do on each day it’s still a hypothesis.
We have some doubts about the itinerary:
* The order of the cities we have decided to visit have sense for you?
* Did we miss any important things to visit like Hiroshima or Nagasaki?
* You have some suggestion to add or remove something?

# Some Questions
* We were thinking of using a Luggage Delivery Between Hotels for travelling light between cities. Do you have any experience of it? is it safe? is on time?
* Is 4 Ryokans too many Ryokans?
* Any city or place we must visit and we don’t see here?
Thank you for the attention!
