Hi everyone,
I already bought the plane tickets, I know it's going to be insanely hot and humid but I don't care. I'll just suffer then. I'm also a solo traveler who will be taking I think a decent amount of money for the trip.
I am a musician and I enjoy people watching so I want to get both of those things in. My itinerary is pretty light on somedays to the point I don't know what to do, I bolded the days I am looking for suggestions. My other interests are retro anime and Kendo.
Could I fit Hakone into my itinerary somewhere?
