Hello! My wife and I are incredibly excited to travel to Japan for our first time. We love to travel and keep our schedule relatively open so we don’t feel rushed and can change plans as we please. We are also huge foodies, and that will be one of the main focuses of this trip, along with skiing and exploration.
Please let me know what I missed and any critiques on our loose itinerary. We head out in just a few weeks, so all of our travel and lodging has been booked and paid for.
