Itinerary Check – 20 Days Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka-Hiroshima

Hello everybody,

we will be going to Japan for 20 days in a couple of weeks.

We (mid 30s couple) are travelling with our 16 months old daughter, so I tried to make a realistic itineray with nothing set in stone bar the first few days after landing since I had to make reservations for that.

We will be staying in Odaiba during the first Tokyo stay and next to Ueno Park during the second one.

I realise we will be missing a lot of stuff, but will most likely come back in a few years when she’s a bit older.

We land at around 7AM on the 17th of May and go straight to the Hotel in Odaiba, we will be jetlagged so we’ll wing the first day.
