Hey there, everybody! Going to be traveling with my girlfriend to Japan mid March and need some tips!
Here’s what we got so far (rough plan)
Land 3-11 at 15:00, get to our Airbnb in Shinagawa; We have this place till the 16th.
11 thru 16 explore Tokyo! Already have some hotspots we want to visit. Any cool locations to visit don’t be hesitant to drop some! Huge nerds and history buffs.
17th we head to Kyoto to stay in the Airbnb till the 20th or 21st still not sure. Want to do a day trip in Hiroshima, Nara, and Osaka while in the Kyoto house. It’s four or five days enough in Kyoto, would have two or three days actually in Kyoto and the other days doing day trips.
Was planning on the last couple days in Tokyo before we have to depart the 24th. we were thinking on staying in one of the capsule hotels the night before the flight, just to say we did it lol.
Any suggestions for us? First time travelers, and we have family friends there in Osaka.
We are aware of the rail passes, Wi-Fi boxes, and all that stuff you get on the first day when you land in the airport.
Other than that, any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
(PS, if anybody has tips on how to get studio, Ghibli, museum tickets, let me know! It would be awesome to go, but I know it is very difficult)
