I’m planning a last minute trip back to Japan! I’ve been there before and hit up Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe. It’s been about six years since then and I’m looking to treat this as a practice run for future solo vacations in other countries. Keep in mind that I have been to a lot of the “big spots” in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka so if you don’t see them here it means I’ve probably been to them! I’m also just listing days of the week to keep some privacy so to when I’ll be going. It’ll either be in late Summer or Fall. **I’m also a giant weeb (hence why I’m staying in Akihabara) but I also love historical sites and hiking! I’m much more active than last time so a big goal is to get in many steps!**
**Thank you for all of your help!**
