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.

For all the cat lovers visiting or living in Japan! This one is for you. I've curated a list of things you can do in the city - all cat-related or cat-themed. Enjoy!
(I don't support most cat cafes but I do think some really try to do good work where the cat cafe is simply a means of them raising money to help the cats in question, so the cafes I've listed are ones I know that try their best to do this)

Japan has long held a coveted spot on our travel wishlist, a destination brimming with tantalizing sights and flavors just waiting to be explored. Over the years, our social media feeds became filled of must-visit spots and mouthwatering culinary delights, shaping our anticipation for the journey ahead. Drawing from the collective wisdom of friends who've called Japan home and our own wanderings, we meticulously crafted a comprehensive guide to this captivating country.
The process was no small feat, spanning the better part of a year, with our guide taking shape alongside the anticipation of booked flights. Aware of the finite nature of our adventure, we set out to squeeze every drop of experience from our time in Japan.
Yet, with the thought in mind of luggage to lug and trains to catch, it prompted us to narrow our focus to the three bustling hubs of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. While this guide shines a spotlight on Tokyo's wonders, be sure to peruse our other guides for a taste of what awaits in Osaka and Kyoto.
This guide is an ever-changing list of hidden gems and culinary delights scattered throughout the cityscape. From bustling markets to serene temples, it's a roadmap to unforgettable experiences waiting to be discovered. Plus, we've included a day trip from Tokyo to Fuji for those seeking a taste of seeing the mysterious mountain.
But that's not all. We've packed in a wealth of practical advice to enhance your journey, from navigating the hotel scene to mastering the art of queueing at popular eateries.
Whether you're a high roller, a budget traveler, or somewhere in between, we've got you covered with a range of accommodation and dining options to suit every taste and wallet size.
So buckle up and get ready for an adventure that's as diverse as the city itself.

I can speak from experience as a solo female traveler when I say that booking a hotel, hostel, or bed & breakfast takes a lot of time and careful planning.
Prior to choosing a place to stay, it is important to carefully weigh factors including price, location, amenities, and room alternatives.
