Hey!
I’m a first time traveler, doing a 8 day total trip that dots between Hakone/Five Lakes, Tokyo, and Kyoto. I wanted to pass my Tokyo portion of the trip by y’all, since that’s the part that particularly intimidates me in terms of missing something…though I realize it’s impossible to hit it all.
I also have two days at the end of the trip to hit anything that my itinerary would miss or might be a better fit. In particular, I was wondering if NYE or NYD would affect any of these things. I didn’t pick my food stops so I can be more freeform with those. Thanks in advance!
