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.

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.
