Itinerary Check – 16 Days (Tokyo – Osaka – Kyoto – Tokyo)

Travelling to. Japan on Tuesday with our 4 and 6 year old. So we’ve planned the days to be a bit light to cater for possible eventualities. Keen to hear feedback on anything i should add for the kids. I will most likely be exploring the city when they retire to bed.
