SO, quick backround, my wife and I are going to Japan for a 2nd time in May, 1st time we did a lot less nature seeing and everything was a bit faster paced as we went down to Hiroshima almost immediately and then made our way back to Tokyo, within a week. Also we had packed light but this time I only plan on bringing 1 to 2 days of clothes and buying the rest there and near the end get a hardcase for baggage check. By the way this is a very rough draft,and the missus doesn’t want anything to do with planning. I feel like this is surprisingly better thought out than beforehand but I appreciate any input. I know a lot of time constraint could be taken care of by starting earlier and I feel like last time I had normally woken up by like 7am everyday even without an alarm so I feel a lot of this should work it’s way out just fine.
I don’t want to miss out seeing more motorcycles,cars and cool things but we also don’t have all the time in the world as it be. Or if I should rearrange anything? THANKS!
