Edit: Ok I am not a foodie. I just really like sushi.
Edit 2: Thanks all! I'm definitely adding the Ueno area and checking out the National Museum of Nature and Science.
I was told my plans are too boring, but this is my first international trip so I want to take is slow. Open to suggestions of where else to visit near where I’m staying. Also I booked a ton of massages/spas… they are all legit and safe hopefully? Thank you!!
About Me
- Mainly going for the food and relaxation, first time ever traveling out of the US and alone and nervous
- Going late Sept – early Oct. A bit worried about the humidity.
- I get stressed and mentally tired really easily by traveling, so looking for the least shortest train rides, and time to relax in hotel for a few hours each day.
- Gluten intolerant, hence lots of gluten free places, but I can manage some soy sauce.
- Enjoy museums. Also animals, but couldn’t find ethical ones that aren’t too far for me
