After the trip
4 full days in Kobe for work, then back to Tokyo for returning to home
This itinerary leans a bit theme-park-heavy thanks to my friend’s interests, so those days are non-negotiable 😊. That said, if you have any “you’ve got to see this if you’re in the area!” suggestions, I'm all ears!
I'm also working on a custom map filled with restaurants and cafes so we’re not scrambling to find food on the go.
Since we’ll be visiting during typhoon season, I’m trying to keep things flexible but most of the major attractions are already pre-booked. Any tips on what to do if plans get canceled due to weather? Backup indoor activities or general advice would be super helpful!
Thanks in advance!
