Last minute souvenirs and leave
Having some trouble thinking of things to fill the back end of the schedule. I think we should skip Osaka because I didn’t see much to do other than explore Dotonbori, which seems similar to other downtown spots in Tokyo. Anything I missed? Are there any local tours that are worth taking?
I found an interesting tour for Tsukiji market in another post that looks pretty great because its a food tour/omakase, but it’s kind of expensive. Trying to decide if this and the Maiko dinner are worth it. https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/71924?viralityEntryPoint=2&s=76&unique_share_id=EAC03F4A-93EE-457F-B475-B5EA32F98F9B&_branch_match_id=1232028073593735129&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXT0zKS9LLTdX3MMwO8MtILg%2BqSgIAD31gLRsAAAA%3D&startDate=2023-12-14&adults=1
Any feedback helps. Thanks!

Just wanted to say I’m following as we are doing Tokyo-Kyoto-Hakone from April 2-10- literally right before you.
We also plan to skip Osaka unless during our time in Kyoto we feel like doing it as a day trip.
