Looking for feedback on our plan below. Are we doing too much on this trip?
My wife and I are 58-55, and are fit enough to do a lot of walking/hiking. Our daughters are 30 and 26 – one of them is there with us for the full two weeks and the other arrives at the end of the first week. One of us is a vegetarian.
We’d love to fit in a temple stay (particularly around Kyoto during week two of our visit). Any advice around this also would be greatly appreciated.

What are your goals for the Nagano day trip? Seems like a long hop just to go there. Why not just explore Tokyo that day?
didn’t teamlab planets close permanently?
