Hello, First-time travelers to Japan here. This trip ended up being a more last-minute thing to visit a friend in Okinawa, but my wife and I are tacking on some time in mainland Japan as well. looking for advice on things to do/places to visit/ food to eat in each city we are going to. Right now only have a bare-bones plan. Would love any restaurant suggestions in each place, as my wife and I love to eat. I was planning maybe 1 nice pre booked meal in each city. Also still trying to figure out a Tokyo hotel for the end of the trip, currently going between Tokyo Station Hotel and Hyatt Centric Ginza, as they are equal amounts of Hyatt points each. any suggestions would be fantastic though. Finally, any specific activities/sights that are must-dos in each city would be fantastic, I don’t know much about traveling to Japan at the moment but I am trying to compile a good list of things to do so we aren’t lost when we get there!
