Hi all, my partner and I are taking our honeymoon this year after getting married this past Dec. I am a planner (thanks dad lol) when it comes to taking trips and I like to at least have a rough idea of what we are gonna do each day. Hopefully I didn’t pack too much into our days? I tried to keep days separated by areas of things to do so we weren’t backtracking or overlapping too much. Tell me what you think?
Also are there any cool festivals to go to in Oct? I saw Shuki Taisai Grand Autumn Festival on the 16th and 17th but I’m not sure how to change our schedule to go. Anything else that might be cool? I haven’t added any festivals into our itinerary but I’m willing to adjust to go to one!
Many of the days we’re willing to just find food in the area to eat lunch and dinner at. A few times we do have some specific places we’d like to eat at.
