Hi everyone,
Me and my mate will be going to Japan from mid March to early April in 2024, have booked plane tickets and currently going over the itinerary before we go ahead with booking the rest. Bellow is the current itinerary and if you guys can give your opinion. Also, you are likely to notice that there are a few days empty, I am open to suggestions of where we could go. Another reason few days were left were so we can leave wiggle room during planning.
TLDR – Can you guys give your opinion on our itinerary and suggest what to do with our remaining/empty days?
\*I have been to Japan in 2019 for 11 days, have visited Tokyo and Kyoto mainly.
