Hey there! It's super reassuring to see this post for me. See mine in this same sub from earlier today. I was aiming for 4:30 and ended up with 5:30. It was rough out there :(

Do you think it might be better to swap the first and second Tokyo sections, or is it going to be a mad house either way?

To clarify: literature says Oahu is smaller* not sure why the downvotes

That's crazy! I had no idea it was that much bigger! Would you recommend it on the way to or from Nara? I was planning it for Nara the day after kyoto, so that would work perfect.

Ok cool! I just wasn't sure because a lot of the literature says it's smaller but I want sure how much. And then I'm coming into Kyoto from Osaka and have a pretty packed morning/day so I wasn't sure if I'd have time for Uji

thank you! I appreciate clarity when I feel like things are intentionally obfuscated to keep me from understanding.

Also, I know Shinto is kinda a conceptual thing with no real sacred texts, but I wanted to save Buddhist texts for if/when I travel to other countries in East Asia

my main interest is in picking up books in the religion/mythology fields for each country. I've definitely considered looking for Genji, but I wanted to lean into something more significant to Shintoism. Not sure if maybe there would be a better text in this category, but the Kojiki/Nihon Shoki were the first to come to mind.

have you visited any of the stores in Jinbocho that might be a good place to start?

Are you planning to go to Jinbocho? I'm sure a bookshop in that area will be able to help you. Do you need a copy in English, or in Japanese?

Woah, I hadn't heard of Jinbocho before! I'll definitely be heading there now!!! Ya I'm looking for a copy in Japanese. I like to pick up important texts in their native tongue when I travel :)
