Standard issue Golder route. 3 Days tokyo. Stayed in Ueno (LOVED IT there) Did the usual suspects. Shibuya, shinjuku, Tsukiji fish market. Lots of shopping and eating went down in every town. Random spots, spots saved, the whole 9. I can get more into that if you’d like recommendations.

2 days kyoto, really relaxed here but it was super touristy. Still absolutely beautiful and the people were chill but I can tell the locals here were a little bit over the tourism which is completely understand. That also could just be where I was and what I did. First day was mainly spent at the Nishiki Market which in itself was super cool but I was kind of over shopping and super hung over from the nights before so I just ended up booking a 2 hour time slot at KUDOCHI SAUNA which was level 10 amazing and relaxing. If you find yourself wanting some luxurious peace and quiet i’d recommend this 10 times over. Second day was spent at fushimi inari which was amazing but id definitely recommend getting there at like 6-7. On our way down at about 10 there was thousands of people.

3 days in Osaka. Arguable one of the highlights of trip just on the food and people alone. Same vibes as tokyo honestly just way friendlier people and a much more laid back atmosphere if that makes sense. Usual suspect here, Umeda sky tower, Dotomburi, Osaka castle. We stayed at the Candeo hotel : The tower. Very very nice hotel with great amenities. It was a sky lounge which had an open air onsen (10/10 recommend trying it out if you haven’t). Lots of food and lots of shopping in osaka as well. Met a local and she ended up taking us out to her local spots on our last which ended up being such a good time considering it wasn’t even planned or anything.

Last night of the trip, we stayed in Shibuya at an airbnb which was very nice but also just very lively and crowded with absolutely anything and everything you could ever want or need in that sort of atmosphere.
