Hi!

I'm traveling to Japan for 2 weeks on September, and I would love some feedback/advices on my itinerary.

This is my first time in Japan, and I would come from Seoul, South Korea so I have no jetlag on the arrival day.

I tried to group activites together when they were together not to do too much transport on each day, but maybe some of them can be moved to other day or swapped to be more effective.

Feel free to give advices, especially if some days are too crowded. The goal is not to be active 100% of the time doing an activity, but to have some time to hang freely, do some shopping, etc...
