Japan - Not Your First Time Itinerary
Japan - Not Your First Time Itinerary
Dang Family
This will be our 3rd time to Japan, and will be traveling without kids!
We plan to splurge on this luxury 7-day itinerary that includes hotel stays with Mt. Fuji and Tokyo Tower views, Michelin Star dining, and spending most of our days eating out in Tokyo (no trips to Kyoto or Osaka here)!
