After looking through many preplanned trips I’ve decided on this one. It looks good and has a lot of what we want to do but we’ve never been to Japan before so my questions are to those who live in or have traveled to Japan before. Are we missing any must visit locations? This will probably be our only trip to Japan.
I’d like to pick up a nice Tea set while we’re there. Doing research it looks like my best best shot is somewhere in Tokyo but I’ve read there are a lot of good local stores that sell high quality ceramics. Are we passing through anywhere we’d have time to stop by a local store?
Lastly, is there any issues with this preplanned trip? By that I mean does it seem like there may not be enough time in some of the activities to enjoy them/ have to be rushed to make it to the next portion? As someone who has never planned a trip before or traveled at all it looks good but I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything.
Thanks in advance
