Hi Everyone,
I made a plan for my 2nd trip to Japan in Feb 2024 . Really appreciate to have some feedback on my itinerary! It’s fast-paced but “probably” do-able using the information on the Internet. I choose Tohoku since it will be less crowded and snow heaven. Please let me know if I still miss something! I do have the option to have 1 more day (12 in total) to add some level of flexibility
