We're a group of friends over our 30s. Looking to do what we can for late autumn. I'd love to hear your feedback, recommendations, and/or suggestions about this!
Note: We are unable to switch our itinerary from Hiroshima to Osaka. Hiroshima is set due to a tentative concert we're attending.
About us
Some of visited Kansai on separate trips, but this time we're broadening out to "Hidden Nara", Ise, Hiroshima, and Tottori. We also like anime/games so might find some time to breeze through this. Sacrifices are inevitable if we don't make it to these stores. For me: looking for new glasses and uniqlo or secondhand shopping.
