My wife and me are planning this trip, but we’re really overwhelmed.We thought that we had it figured out, but now that it’s coming closer and closer we’re getting really stressed about it. Stressed that we haven’t planned enough / planned too much or just missing some important things.It would be our first time to Japan and obviously we’re really excited (but stressed as well lol).We look forward to explore the culture, try as much food as possible and see lots of sights.We like to get up really early, especially when we visit something that we can be very busy so we can beat the crowd a bit.

I still haven’t figured out yet if it would be a good idea to get the JR Pass or not. I used the tool and we barely win any money with it.
If we would get them, I don’t know which starting date I would choose since it’s only valid for 14 days and we are there for 18 days.
Please let me know what you guys think.
Be blunt and honest lol
Much appreciated guys!
