Two week guide to Japan: Osaka->Kyoto->Tokyo

This itinerary is designed to hit the major highlights of Japan and visits the top three cities of Japan for first time visitors. To get the most out of your travel time I suggest flying into Osaka and out of Tokyo. You can also of course flip this itinerary around and start in Tokyo and end in Osaka. 

This trip only has you riding the Shinkansen (the bullet train) one time, between Kyoto and Tokyo, and thus does not require you to purchase a JR Rail pass.

Though Japan is often known as a more expensive destination, I tackled the challenge of Tokyo on a shoestring budget. With so many amazing experiences, I had to balance my need to stay under budget and desire to see it all. These favorite affordable attractions will ensure an unforgettable experience in one of the world's most fascinating cities.

Don Quijote Asakusa

Don Quijote stores are discount stores famous for their wide range of goods. You can find literally anything from food to electronics. There is a great choice of Japanese souvenirs as well.
Don't forget to take your passport for the tax free shopping. 
Don Quixote stores are usually open until late so I  recommend visiting at the end of the day so you do not need to carry your purchases with you all round.

The BEST one stop shop for everything from snacks to J-beauty products.
