I’m making my first trip to Japan on March 4th with 5 close friends. We have two weeks and plan to hit Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Mt Fuji. There’s wayyy to many things I want to do but from listening to this sub I know it’s better not to *over*book because a lot of cool experience comes from just exploring and walking around. Does this itinerary look feasible? Are there other things I should prioritize? I’d also love to squeeze in a sakura blossom viewing hanami picnic at some point, although I know we’re a bit early for the full bloom season so idk.
March 4th: Arrive in Tokyo at 6pm
March 5th: Akihabra + Tokyo Skytree (maybe hit up the pokemon skytree center?)
March 6th: Shinjuku (maybe also check out nakano broadway)
March 7th: Shibuya+Harajuku (Maybe hit up Shimokitazawa if we have time)
March 8th: Ginza + Teamlab Planets (Maybe hit up Tsukiji market for dinner)
March 9th: Ghibli Museum+Suginami city (There was a wagashi making workshop I was interested in checking out)
March 10th : Free (whatever we feel like)
March 11th: Day trip to Fuji
March 12th: Train from Fuji to Osaka, Check out Dotonburi for dinner
March 13th: Universal Studios + Nintendo World
March 14th: Free (Explore Osaka)

March 16th: Fushimi Inari Shrine in the morning, Check out Uji for tea stuff

3/8: Tsukiji for dinner? A few restaurants are still open but more of the vibe is there during the day.
3/11: What’s your plan for ‘day trip to Fuji’?
