I’m planning a trip for 6 of us to Japan. It is everyone’s first time. Here is a rough itinerary I’m working through. We are planning to go in October. The plan is 11 days Osaka (3 days), Kyoto (3 days) then Tokyo (4 days) with one night at a ryokan. After research we’re thinking of staying in Kyoto and making day trips to Osaka and Nara. Main interests are food, cars, drinking/nightlife and…
Help! I need to CUT days from my ideas list which keeps growing, I’m too excited. Open to any suggestions. We will be in Japan for the FIRST TIME in October with another family. Between us we have a gaggle of kids . With that in mind I'm trying to craft something that is realistic 🤣, balanced, keeps kids engaged, with simple logistics and is fun for all ages. We are all very adventurous and…

Hi everyone! My friends and I are planning our first trip to Japan for 14 days and I’d love some opinions on our itinerary before we lock everything in. (I fear this is too much) Our rough route is: Tokyo Day 1: Ichiran Ramen → Tsukiji Outer Market → walking around mostly chill Day 2: Tokyo → Kawaguchiko/ Mt Fuji day trip Day 3: Kamakura & Enoshima day trip Day 4: Tokyo sightseeing + night out Day…
Hi Everyone, I took lead on planning my group of 5's Japan trip. I think I've finalized it and I want to run it by everyone and make sure its not too ambitious, especially the Hiroshima day trip. Tokyo: 11/5-11/9 Thursday November 5 Arrive Haneda airport 5am: Pokemon vending machine 8:30am Tsukiji Outer Market Shiro-Hige’s Cream Puff Factory Cat temple Shinjuku airbnb at 4pm & dinner Friday…
First trip, me and my wife (mid-30s, NYC). Land Haneda Nov 15 at 14:20, out Nov 28 at 22:55. We're after first experiences, street photos, autumn colour, food, temples and old neighbourhoods, museums, and a lot of unplanned walking. Most two-week itineraries I've read run six to nine bases, which looks like a blur to us, so we capped at three. Read the FAQ - skipping the JR Pass since it's only…
Hello everyone ! I went 16 days in Japan in May 2025 solo and I'm going back in 2027, but this time I'm bringing my parents. It's their first time in Japan and honestly their first big trip like this in a while, so I want to get the pacing right. Looking for a sanity check before I start booking. I'm paying everything for them as a surprise and to thank them for everything they've done for me.…
We’re planning a trip in April 2027, with dates flexible through April 19, and would love feedback with the current itinerary we have going. Would love to lock in start/end dates for our flight and hear if there’s any cool Sakura experiences or general activities we may have left out. Do want to note that we have been to Japan during autumn and previously experienced Tokyo, Osaka, Nara, Kyoto,…
I’m going to Japan this October and am just looking for some feedback. I actually went last year for about 2.5 weeks with friends, and now I’m going back with family on a shorter trip (4 People Total). I tried to fit in all the best stuff while still keeping the itinerary flexible, so I’m not booking much in advance outside of our Miyajima stay and a few smaller activities. October 19th - Tokyo…
