8-Day Japan Itinerary: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, & Nara Highlights! 🇯🇵✨
So, you’ve got eight days in Japan and you’re not sure how to fit it all in. Well, let me show you how. Day one, touchdown in Tokyo. Sleep off that jet lag in Shinjjuku. Day two, head over to the Pokémon Cafe in Tokyo for the cutest theme lunch. Spend your evening indulging in melt-in-you wagu and ramen. Go big, you’re in Japan. Day three, take the Fuji excursion to Lake Kawajukio for stunning Mount Fuji views. Ride the rope to the top of that iconic insta shot. Then check into a rioon, a traditional Japanese in for a tatimi mat onen and traditional dinner experience. Day four, enjoy another traditional breakfast at the Rioan. Then take a bus and the Shinkansen over to Kyoto and explore the Gisha district. Day five, explore Arishiama’s bamboo forest and visit the monkey park. Yes, the monkeys roll freely. It’s unforgettable. Day six, take the train to Osaka and wander around the Doten Boy District. Take in the neon lights and the street food to your heart’s desire. Day seven, take the train to Nar Park to feed the sacred bowing deer and submit your prayer offering. Take the Shankensen back to Tokyo to explore Asakusa. Day eight, and your trip in Tokyo’s Akiabara Electric Town. Eat at a robot cafe. [Music]
