My partner and I (both Dutch) will be travelling to Japan next year February and will be staying for 24 days. It is our first time travelling to Japan and we are working on creating the best possible itinerary, trying to see as much as possible and creating a route that makes sense. We arrive in Tokyo and travel back from Osaka. We created an itinerary and would really appreciate any tips or recommendations you have!
Thanks in advance!
