Hey guys, planning a Japan trip and wanted a quick sanity check + feedback:
May 20–25: Tokyo (5 nights)
Day 1: Arrival (Narita ~4 PM), check-in, light dinner
Day 2: Shibuya, Harajuku, Omotesando
Day 3: Asakusa, Ueno, Akihabara
Day 4: TeamLab Planets + shopping + nightlife
Day 5: Kamakura day trip (Great Buddha, temples, coast)
May 25–27: Hakone / Mt. Fuji (2 nights)
Day 6: Travel from Tokyo, ropeway, Lake Ashi, onsen/ryokan
Day 7: Fuji views (morning), relax, head to Kyoto
May 27–31: Kyoto (4 nights)
Day 7 (evening): Arrival + dinner
Day 8: Fushimi Inari + Gion
Day 9: Arashiyama bamboo forest + monkey park
Day 10: Golden Pavilion + Philosopher’s Path + cafés
May 31–June 2: Kanazawa (2 nights)
Day 11: Travel, Higashi Chaya district
Day 12: Kenrokuen Garden, samurai district, Omicho Market
June 2–4: Tokyo (2 nights)
Day 13: Travel back to Tokyo
Day 14: Shopping + chill
Day 15: Fly out Haneda (6 PM)
Main goal is a good balance of city + culture + not rushing too much.
Does this look reasonable or am I under/overestimating anything?
Thanks 🙏
