Hello! My husband and I are traveling to Japan for our honeymoon!
Both of our first times in Japan. I'm concerned about packing our itinerary with too many things and wearing ourselves out, but it is our first time in Japan and want to hit all of the highlights.
Since it's our honeymoon, I hope to hit all of the most beautiful/romantic spots in each city.
Shopping is also a priority for us. My husband is big into stationary and vintage menswear (The Real McCoy's in Tokyo is very much his style). I'm on the hunt for unique perfumes, kitchenware, home goods and jewelry.
Have I planned too much? Is there anything I'm missing! Would love any tips! Thanks in advance!!
