Bro you mimicked my exact trip lmao
Sumo tourney and snow monkeys for me ✌️
I disagree on fushimi inari. Don't get here early or on the morning/afternoon; but go there after dinner! It's one of the rare place in japan open 24/24 (most tourist spot close early in japan ) and there where nearly noone here on the evening, it's one of the best place i've visited because it's empty! Seriously i film a video of 8 minutes here and i meet 0 people during the filming! Mind you that it wasn't that late, i was sleeping in Osaka and i needed to take my train/metro before it was too late.
Tourists go to tourist things! And that's ok!
I feel attacked…. How you get my itenary ?
We're doing Osaka -> Kyoto -> Tokyo with visits to Nara and Hiroshima.
I feel like that would actually be a pretty good first trip, to just get to know the country a bit. If you go again you can visit the lesser known locations.
Amazing work on this video bro!
Lads. Here's an idea. Try Kyushu. I went to Japan for the first time literally before the world ended in 2020, then went back in 2023 to Kyushu.
2025 I'm spending 60 days in Kyushu. It's so unknown to tourists that it's insane. Really recommend going. Nobody knows about Kyushu lol. Do something unique! Go!
actually really informational video
great to have that one generic thing everyone does in one spot nicely summarized.
thank you so much
As a repeat Japan visitor since 1995 I watched those to see which places to avoid, so please crowd, only go here😂. Jokes aside, you will have a good time, though, at the places @maydaysan recommends, don’t worry, they are highlights for a reason, but I would recommend spending some days to visit lesser known places and get to know the country like a country, not as a list of must see attractions.
This was pretty much my trip before I decided to change it up into : Tokyo (4) –> Yokohama/Enoshima (1) –> Kyoto (3) –> Nara (1) –> Nara (1) –> Ogaki (1) –> Hiroshima (2) –> Tokyo (2)
Has social media ruined your perception on vacation? Not everything is about taking a video or photo.
Me first trip to Japan was: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kobe, Himeji, Miyajima, Kamakura.
Second one: Osaka, Kyoto, Koyasan, Nagoya, Korankei, Kanazawa, Shirakawa, Takayama, Tokyo.
in my Opinion you can skip Osaka completely if you have been to Tokyo and there is nothing you really want to see there. Dotonbori is nice in the evening but you can go there easyly from Kyoto if you stay relatively close to the Train Station there. From Kyoto Train Station you can also do Day Trips to Hiroshima or even half Day Trips to Himeji or Kobe.
looool this instagram generation
I’m going to Japan for the following Cars, Food and the Beauty of the countryside and mountains. So Hokkaido for the underground drifting scene. Actually my plan is to save up so I can go to Japan and visit an auction to buy and import my car there. I think I will find great food and great sceneries anywhere I go to Japan.
Bruh it’s my 5th time going and my buddies still wanna go to these same spots, like somehow they are gonna change from the last time we went. 😂
I can’t understand how people can enjoy their trip in such overcrowded places. It’s like they love being drowned in a flow of tourists. If I want « that » picture I’m just gonna google it and post it on instagram, no one will be able to tell I didn’t go there.
And because of these people everyone says Japan has too much tourists NO IT DOESN’T, it’s just that 90% of the tourists visit the same 1% of the same spots. Japan is pretty desert outside of those areas.
Going to Tokyo tomorrow I'm so excited
In April 2025 I am going to be hiking from Osaka to Tokyo. I am very excited and I think its a bit more of a unique trip compared to what others tend to do in japan for their first time.
I did this, my friend did this, my colleague did this, we all did this 😂 in slightly different variations xD
Nice video man,
I am going to stay in Japan for one month.
Our itinerary looks quite similar. We are just spending like 1 week in Tokio t days Osaka and 5 days Kyoto.
We also want to go to Kamakura and a day trip to Hiroshima.
Are there any other places in Japan (except from Daytrips) you would recommend. ?
Or would you stay with that itinerary, only more days in the respective locations
i try and do "less touristy" things but honestly, felt like in Japan this is the trip worth doing for your first time. then in the future you can always add extra things.
i also went to hiroshima (really worth going to), miyajima (nice enough, very scenic) and a day trip to a fuji viewpoint (honestly, just worth it for an instagram photo but the journey took forever)
i spent quite a lot of time thrifting/shopping also tbh
next time i hope to visit Okinawa and a few other less major cities. maybe even get to a sumo tournament.
Ill be going to Japan in April for 7 Days. It will be my first time actually doing something on my own like that. Would you say only staying in tokyo (except hopefully traveling to mt fuji) is stupid? Or is there enough to see / do / experience in tokyo itself for 6 days (1 day for fuji obv)
great list, you're bang on with the content! this is indeed the generic japan trip to the t… nothing wrong with that, especially for those on tight schedule or first timers
I went June 2024 and basically our iteniery but we found so many other things to just walking around the cities but tiktok, IG helped us find alot of "lowkey" things to do. A samurai katana class, temples in the mountain side of Osaka, Ikebureko (wrong spelling most likely) Arcades, food shows etc. Cant wait to go back and expand but Thailand first
