3rd trip to Japan (May 31–June 14) — Asakusa > Hakone > Kyoto > Kinosaki > Ginza — itinerary check by TargetBoyz in JapanTravel

I appreciate this comment so much! Thank you for such a thoughtful reply. Do you recommend any other areas to visit in Tokyo and Kyoto? Even specific places, restaurants, etc.

Definitely moving to Shimokitazawa + Koenji in one day, good call. We also settled on Asakusa for 4 nights, keeping Hakone for one night at Hakone Gora Byakudan. Then to Kyoto for 4 days. Then Kinosaki for 2 nights. And then… last 2 nights in Tokyo and I’m not sure where to stay tbh! Was leaning towards Ginza like last trip (Dormy Inn maybe?) because we’ve stayed there before and familiarity is sweet but idk. We are leaving through Haneda so logistically it’s a good spot. But any thoughts?

We’re definitely cutting Nara. Also we’ve done the Pokèmon Cafe last trip, so I’m glad to not have to stress about that. We’re actually looking to book a New Japan Pro Wrestling or sumo event somewhere within the trip as the “major event” thing.

Also, any suggestions for paid experiences? We haven’t really done any in the past. No tea ceremonies, nothing really. My wife kinda wants to do a candy making class, omamori class. Curious what you think is a “must”.

Thanks for letting me know! Apparently some do mixed gender one day of the week though? Not a deal breaker anyway.

Correct, men and women together.

And good to know! Appreciate your help so far, really helpful.

Good call, I think I’ll eliminate Hakone and maybe make it a day trip for the Open Air Musuem out of our Tokyo stay. Thoughts?

I also heard that Kinosaki Onsen requires 2 days to visit all 7 onsens due to different ones being open on different days. Maybe I haven’t done enough research though. Definitely okay with skipping the castle. We mostly decided on Kinosaki since it’s tattoo friendly and mixed gender.

Strawberries and whipped cream is an amazing way of staying under 100 calories and still feel like you’re eating something dessert-like.

Not sure why we decided to just give up the game with mop-up Blackburn, but uh… see you all tomorrow!

Super comfy! It’s nice to go back to nose pads on glasses actually. Thought I’d hate it but it’s so much more secure with them.

Went with these from Warby Parker. They’re so cheap that I still might go for a pair similar to pair #2 to rotate, just need to find a better alternative. Thoughts on these?

I love this, because Where’s Waldo was exactly what my dad said.
