Hi,
I will be going for the first time to Japan for 3 weeks in February. I will be travelling with a friend who by that time will be there for 6 months, so will know a few words and how to get around. We are down for a bit of everything, casual walking, shrines, museums, hikes, good food etc. Would you mind taking a look at this itinerary? I based most of the trip based on what my friends told me, but have no reference for Hiroshima and Fukuoka. Perhaps there are more places there worth visiting? Thanks a lot 🙂
