Hello! I will be visiting Japan this Christmas for a total of 11 days. As this is our first time, we want to make sure that we plan our trip well as we foresee ourselves coming back again. We will be landing in Haneda at 0600 local time with no jetlag / time differences. As this is our first step, I would like to seek help with regards to our planned itinerary. Do see breakdown of the 11 days below and let me know your thoughts:
​
Day 1:
Arrive in Haneda
Head to hotel in Asakusa to store baggage
Kimono making workshop near Kiba station
Back to hotel to check in

Back to hotel
Day 2:

Teamlabs

Back to hotel
Day 3:

Half day photoshoot near Asakusa
Back to hotel to have lunch nearby

Day 4:

Ideally we want to ensure that the breakdown in number of days are okay so we can start planning and booking accommodation. As of now we’re not finalised on where to stay in Kyoto and Osaka so any recommendations will be good! We are both relatively chill but at the same time want to make sure we enjoy as much as possible.
