***Overview:***
*Toyko -> Kyoto -> Osaka -> Beppu -> Fukuoka -> Minobu -> Tokyo*
**Days 1 – 4 Tokyo:**
We plan to visit alot of the classic tourist spots; Shibuya, Roppongi, Tokyo Sky View, Ghibli Museum, Sunshine City Mall. I’ve also got a tattoo appointment booked that will take most of one of the days.
Going to try and book a tour of the storm drain system too (If you’ve played Mirrors Edge you’ll know)
Shinkansen to Kyoto on the evening of the 4th day .
**Day 5 Kyoto:**
Whistle stop tour of Kyoto, visiting many shrines including Fushimi Inari-taisha and Kiyomizu-dera. Also want to visit the Gekkeikan Okura Sake and Kyoto Imperial Palace.
Shinkansen to Osaka in the evening.
**Days 6 – 10 Osaka:**
Plenty of eating and drinking here! Also plan to visit Nara Park, Osaka Castle, Universal, TeamLabs Botanical Garden and Ura-Namba/Torame Yokocho Alley.
Getting the overnight ferry to Beppu on the evening of the 10th day.
**Day 11 Beppu:**
Got a Ryokan booked here with dinner and breakfast service. Also want to visit the 7 hells and try out a sand bath / onsen. Some advice on tattoo friendly onsen would be apricated here.
Shinkansen to Fukuoka early next day.
**Days 12 – 13 Fukuoka:**
Arrive approx mid day. Not alot planned here, I hear there’s an airsoft bar / cafe? Defo could use some ideas here.
**Day 14 Minobu**
I kinda threw a dart at a map and chose a quiet place off the beaten track here. We’re staying in a temple ryokan with onsen. There’s also a cable car you can ride up to a temple in the mountains.
**Days 15 – 16 Tokyo**
Last couple of days in Japan. Last bits of shopping and prep for flight home.
​
It’s my first time in Japan and I’m very excited, I’ve loved researching and finding little spots and things to do / visit.
Any thoughts / feedback are very welcome, thanks.
