🇯🇵 JAPAN ITINERARY, BUDGET, GUIDE AND TIPS | Daphne Barcelona

Hi guys! In this sit-down vlog, we’ll be sharing the itinerary for our 12-day, 11-night DIY tour of Kansai, Japan – Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Hyogo prefectures. We’ll explain how we planned each day to cover major tourist attractions, and we’ll also break down our daily expenses — so make sure to stick around until the end to get all the information you need to plan your own trip!

By the way, we’ll also cover itinerary and budget options for 9-day (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara) and 5-day (Osaka only) trips, including a more budget-friendly (tipid) version for each day.

*Everything you need (itinerary + budget) is shown in this video. Make sure to screenshot or save it for your trip planning 💕*
