I’m trying not to cram everything in a day so I hope I made a fairly comfortable itinerary. Is this still too packed or maybe too loose? We’re running on a limited budget so I’ve only picked those what we really wanted to see. We’re not into partying and drinking, we prefer to do more sightseeing. Anything I should add or remove?
I’m also having doubt on our Kawaguchiko day trip. I already bought bus tickets for that day, but I’m thinking I’ll cancel it if weather isn’t nice and we couldn’t see Mt. Fuji. What would be an alternative day trip we could take that’s accessible from Tokyo and without buying tickets in advance? I’m thinking Mt Takao and Showa park, is this feasible? Or maybe Kamakura?
