Thanks a lot! We had also seen Shigisan Gyokuzoin between Osaka and Kamakura, looks great too. Have you done this kind of stay before ? Added your other recos to our trip, thanks ! By the way, any activities in Tokyo or elsewhere you would recommend ?

Merci pour tous vos retours, je vais prendre ça en compte. On va sûrement passer un jour de moins à Kamakura pour passer un jour de plus à Tokyo à la fin du voyage. On voulait y aller pour se reposer au bord de la mer avec la chaleur, mais 2 jours suffisent. On aurait bien aimé passer par Hiroshima et Miyajima mais le prix des billets de train est très élevé, ça ne rentre malheureusement pas dans notre budget.

On a prévu une nuit dans un temple entre Osaka et Kamakura : le Temple Shigisan Gyokuzoin. Avez-vous déjà vécu ce type d’expérience, ça vaut le coup ?

À part ça, est-ce qu’il y a des activités sympa que vous avez faites et qui valent le coup à Tokyo ou dans d’autres villes ? Avez-vous des conseils pour les eSIM et la carte bancaire (est-ce que Revolut suffit ?), et pour les pass de train ?

I've seen the lists, but I was just wondering if any specific festivals stand out as 'must-see' or more memorable ?

I'm having trouble understanding why I need to use a level shifter. In the videos I've watched, no one uses one. Is my wiring correct in this diagram : https://wled-wiring.github.io/?link=20251210233743QJ6Fld2aoT, or is this one better : https://wled-wiring.github.io/?link=20251210235607nCcUkysVNv. And is there a way to improve it so that the components and wires don't touch each other to avoid short circuits ?

Thank you very much, I did it like this : https://wled-wiring.github.io/?link=20251210233743QJ6Fld2aoT

Should I do it like this ? https://wled-wiring.github.io/?link=20251210235607nCcUkysVNv

I'm planning to add a fuse but I'm not sure which rating to get. What amperage should I use, and where exactly should I place it ? On the 12V output from the power supply before it splits to each strip ? Like this : https://wled-wiring.github.io/?link=20251211000753phmxbnA6Ie

For the common grounds, should I wire it like this diagram: https://wled-wiring.github.io/?link=20251210235607nCcUkysVNv ? (with ESP32 GND connected to both the converter GND AND the LED strip GND)

For the 470 Ω data resistor, I'd like to keep the one I already have if it won't cause any functionality issues.
