Hello, my partner and I will go to Japan in the last week of November to first week of December. Our first stop will be in Kyoto tho our arrival is in Narita (first timer mistake), will be staying there for 4 nights. Is my itinerary doable or is it too much? I like photography, tho not professional but I love it as a hobby. I like to photograph nature and portraits. And please suggest any resto, coffee shops, and snacks since we also love eating specially sweets and coffees. Thank you.
