Hello everyone! I’m planning a trip to Hokkaido/Tokyo for about 12 days in early July. Did some research over the past month or so on what to visit in the summer. I’ve visited Kyoto, Shiga, Osaka, Himeji, Hiroshima and Kawaguchiko before so those aren’t in the plan.
How’s my itinerary below? Feel free to comment on any recommedations or any other attractions I should add on. Thanks!
