Hi, Could I get some advice on filling out my itinerary there's just so much to do, and so little days I am overwhelmed.
I'm 23 male, going with my 18 year old sister.
Both never travelled before, so it's our first time.
My sister seems to want to do more shopping, and take pictures, while I want to try a bit of everything.
Our budget is mid-range, and willing to spend around 5-7k aud in total including flight tickets (we will take budget flight around $800 round trip).
We are planning to going around late November, early December.
I don't think I'll be back in Japan any time soon, since I want to visit other countries too so trying to get as much of an experience as possible within a reasonable budget, and energy budget (I get tired easily).
Thoughts on my itinerary, any recommendations? (BTW we don't speak any Japanese – although we can learn if required for a better experience in the next few months)
