Hello guys!
I know the time of year is not the best for Japan, but at the moment it was our only chance to visit this beautiful country for 17 full days.
We are a couple in our 40s, definitely more dynamic than average and with great travel experience – nothing scares us let’s say.
**I would like to make a trip schedule with you and your endless experiences considering that:**
*\*\* We are arriving and departing from Tokyo.*
*\*\* We have already seen that Japan is characterised by its many temples – but we are not sure we want to see all of them -> we would like to select the most beautiful ones.*
*\*\* We haven’t yet bought hotels or JR Passes (honestly, I’d like to see if you can do everything without having to buy one.*
*\*\* We like nature, the food, the social aspects, surely onsen.. a little less museums and art in general.*
*\*\* We’re not afraid to keep a slightly more intense pace than average in terms of travelling, better to see something more than something less.*
Can you help us figure out if there are any particular events we cannot miss in this period and how we can best organise our trip?
**Current doubt: Any day trip to add or wonderful places I am missing?**
**Thanks a lot!**
As your advice comes in, I would love to draw up the calendar here with you!
