3 young adults traveling to Japan. I’m the only one that can somewhat communitate in Japanese (at around N4 level) with the previous visit experience. Is this plan feasible? Especially day 5, since it seems a little packed. We would like to visist SkyTree but honestly don’t know when would it be possible to fit into the itinerary)

Is there anything that you would recommend in Nara? It seems like there isn’t much to do.

Would you recommend something for Day 8 in Hiroshima? We were thinking about taking a guide or just cycle through the town, maybe visist other areas?

Hakone is still questionable, it will take a whole day and we are still unsure whether that’s worth 1 day trip.

Any recommendations or advices would be greatly appreciated.
