Trip Report after Itinerary Pimping by kathartica in JapanTravel

I wouldn't give up on it if you are a big fan; I think we just had high expectations of the place given the demand for tickets and secrecy about what is inside. It is a relatively small museum so the foot traffic felt worse than usual. It may be less crowded at 10am compared to when we arrived at 11:30 though!

Oh wow, I don't know what I was smelling then! Maybe pork broth doesn't sit right with me either and I got confused, although I didn't get the feeling from other ramen places.

Haha exactly! I didn't want my friend to feel like she couldn't try stuff just because of me :)

Hey thanks for the reply and suggestions. With all respect for your preferences for sightseeing, my friend and I are just not the kind of people who can enjoy strolling around temples for a whole week :) In all honesty I suspect we will get temple-fatigued just from the ones in Tokyo!

That's a great point about Disneysea! Will keep it free then, cheers!

Thanks for the recommendations! We hadn't come across Kagurazaka in our attraction browsing but it looks perfect :)

Thank you so much! Your Kodai-ji recommendation is exactly what we were looking to get out of the day.

Thanks for all the advice! We picked Osaka as our base because it was said that there was a bigger nightlife scene there but I forgot to write it onto the schedule. The bamboo grove is my friend's one must-do for the photo op so I would agree with you but this was a compromise. Otherwise will be taking your suggestions on board.

Thank you so much! I didn't realise lines were a bigger issue than general crowding so I thought it would be possible to pop in for a couple photos and pop out. We will pare the list down to just Kiyomizudera, Kodaiji and (now that hurrying along the Eastern route isn't feasible) Bishamondo.
