Good morning, everyone!
\*Edited with new dates, more time off, moved days around and activities\*
This is my first time traveling overseas for vacation and my first time planning a trip. Most of the time that I travel is to visit family around stateside. A little bit about myself. I am male 24 and single. I never was too much of an outdoorsy type of person. Most of the time when I go out is when my friends invite me out. Most of my days when I am off from work I spent most of my playing video games, studying, and getting into new hobbies. Trying to change that. Recently I started to go out a lot more and have been enjoying it. That’s enough about my sad lifestyle lol. One of my dream places I want to go is japan. This is my first time planning this trip so if you have a suggestion like if I am doing too many activities or if some activities are not worth doing or should be moved to another day please let me know! This trip is going to have in the next couple of months. Dont want to say specific dates because I want to be safe.
When I was planning I put activities close to each other for more accessibility.
For food planning to walk around and see what’s around at the moment. If you have any recommendations let me know what location or city!
