Hello! One month out to a two week trip in Japan— Tokyo > Osaka. I wanted to put in my current itinerary to see if I am packing too much into each day or not enough. I will be in Tokyo a few days solo and the rest with my dad. Osaka I will be solo. I will ⭐️ my priorities, the rest are just different options and I don’t HAVE to do them.
My main goals are to shop, have some cultural experiences, see shrines and temples, eat yummy food, and find silly and novelty sights. OH and Disneyland hehe.
I am aware that my Osaka days are not as planned/ packed and I am ok with that, still working on that part of the itinerary.
