Almost every trip to Japan starts in the amazing Tokyo. Here is a 4-day guide to experience both the traditional and trendy side of the city! While the guide sets out a rough day-by-day planning (including places to eat), there is also plenty of opportunity to incorporate your own wanna-sees/dos. All pictures are taken by myself. Includes: -Sightseeings -Neighborhoods -Recommendations for breakfast/lunch/dinner -Recommendations on where to stay

First time visiting Japan, but looking for an itinerary beyond the Golden Triangle [Tokyo, Kyoto, & Osaka]? This itinerary efficiently combines these cities with smaller traditional villages, serene gardens, the magical nature of the Nagano and Wakayama Prefectures, and small islands. The itinerary is designed for a time span of two weeks onwards. Covering all places in two weeks, like we did, results in a packed planning. By stretching the time span, one can personalize the itinerary; while one person might decide to spend some additional time on Naoshima, others will prefer to book an additional night in the city of Osaka. Next to the diverse palette of places, this itinerary includes plenty of recommendations for tearooms, restaurants, and hotels. All pictures are taken by myself.
