Hi Guys! Was hoping yall could rate my Japan Itnierary! And if you guys have any thoughts on wether or not Nara would be worth it for a day trip on our last day in Kyoto (3 day trip)that would be great. Disclaimer: I am well aware that Japan is a place to wander and not stick to a tight schedule. This is just an overview of places we could visit based on location. If we end up wandering at a location because we explore and miss another location thats our plan! If theres anything on here that you loved and we must see let me know! Otherwise were not sticking EXACTLY to this schedule, we love exploring and taking our time!
