Good morning everyone!

I’m currently making my itinerary, so I wanted to have some of you to please have a look at it.

This is going to be a long trip, so I’ll split this thread in 4 parts

I’m a 25 year old that absolutely love Japan and food (and japanese food !). I have no problem walking a lot (thanks to my autopilot mode). I speak a bit of japanese (just got my N5 in december)

This is my second trip (first one was in 2019)

I’ll be there most of the time with one or two friends of mine, except for the last week.
