Hello! I was wondering if someone could help with my planned trip to Japan since me and my family have never gone before and we want to make the experience as memorable and fun as possible for the short window we are staying there. I did post in r/JapanTravelTips but my post was removed by a mod saying that it should be posted on here instead.
