I posted a very rough itinerary a week ago and have since have taken on a few of the recommendations given by people and reworked a few things, at the moment I only have 2 days empty, One in Kyoto and one in Tokyo where I'm happy to fill a few things as suggested.

I'm interested in the pre-industrial history of Japan as well as the beauty with a side splash of the geek side of things, anyway, without further a do, here is my almost complete itinerary.

MODS- This is not AI generated, I have used japan-guide website to pick a few highlights and fill days, the things I want to do are included but was unsure on the names of temples so used the website to do alot of them. I say this as the last time I submitted it was removed as being AI generated, it is not AI generated at all, just a novice to this itinerary thing
