I am planning to visit Japan next year with my partner during the cherry blossom season (March 23 – April 5) from Australia. I have been to Japan a few times but it’s her first time there.
I would be grateful for an itinerary check to make sure she has the best time possible.
March 23 Sat – Travel Day arrive in Tokyo
March 24 Sun – Meiji Shrine, Yoyogi Park, Harajuku, Shibuya (she loves shopping)
March 25 Mon – Disneysea
March 26 Tues – Tsuiji outer market, Ginza, Ueno Park, Akihabara
March 27 Wed – Teamlab (she loves exhibitions and hopefully I’ll know where they reopen in 2024), Shinjuku
March 28 Thur – Travel to Hakone, Ropeway and ryokan with private onsen
March 29 Fri – Travel to Kyoto, Nikishi market, Shijo dori
March 30 Sat – Arashiyama, Kinkaku-ji
March 31 Sun – Nara half day trip, Fushimi inari
April 1 Mon – Kiyomizu-dera, Gion district, Maruyama Park
April 2 Tues – Travel to Osaka, Kuromon Market, Umeda, Tenjinbashisuji
April 3 Wed – Universal Studios
April 4 Thurs – Himeji half day trip, Dontoburi
April 5 Fri – Travel day back
Does any part of this itinerary seem unrealistic or too much? Or are there any suggestions?
I want to make her fall in love with Japan so she’ll come back here again with me next time!
