Japan
The country of Japan – so much to see and do, you will just leave wanting more. Visiting Japan was one of my first major trips outside the country and one I will never forget. The culture, the sites, the food – it was all so different from anything I have experienced before. Based on the trip I took, I have put together three itineraries and varying lengths that will take you around the country.
The 14 day itinerary begins in Tokyo before making its way down south passing by Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima and Miyajima, before turning around and ending back in Tokyo
The 10 day itinerary highlights most of the two week one, however it will leave out places like Hakone and Nara, and will have a bit less time to explore the other cities
The 7 day itinerary is basically an even more condensed route, making its way to Tokyo and Kyoto, and then doing day trips to Osaka and Miyajima / Hiroshima from there
Below the itineraries you will also find several guides that will go more in depth about certain excursions and activities that you can take part of during your time in Japan. Have fun out there and feel free to reach out with any questions!
