✔️ made by someone with seafood/nut allergies! 🙅🏻♀️🥜🐟
(edit) please note: this list includes places I've been to and DID NOT have an allergy issue there. unfortunately not many places in Japan are made for 100% seafood allergy or vegan places because well, its a highly seafood based country. Anyway, hope this helps :)

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.

A hotel room with an epilepsy warning? An omakase course of tea-based cocktails? I can't say for sure these are hidden gems, but after months of seeing everyone and their moms go to Japan since COVID reopening, I can say these were some of my favorite spots that I seldom saw people visit.
Hi! I'm a Brooklyn-based tech journalist-turned-corporate comms editor. Early in my career I spent a stint as a luxury travel planner and writer specializing in Asia, and if I can toot my own horn, I'm often the friend everyone says "wth Natt, how do you find all these cool spots, drop that itin." (Fine, they don't say it like that, but you get the point).
Travel planning is a great hobby for me, and I am writing this as both a journal to remember my trip by and to share with friends, hence the overly familiar tone you might find below. If you discovered this on the Thatch platform, consider giving my guide a shot and hopefully you'll find it useful for an adventuresome visit to Japan!
This guide includes:
✈️ Pre and post-arrival pro-tips
🛌 Hotel, restaurant, and activity suggestions with some personal anecdotes (we vetted any Instagram vs realities!)
📍 Resources, databases, and things to make your journey more efficient and economical
It is not:
📆 A list of daily itineraries
❓ "Beginner's guide to Japan" i.e. how to book JR trains, basic etiquettes, how to transfer from airport to city
🔝 The absolute best of the bests - opinions here totally my own

Himukai Daijingu is a Kyoto location which includes nature, history, and folklore. In this guide we'll find one of the most interesting, and scenic shrines in Kyoto, but also one that doesn't suffer from the over-crowding that occurs at some of the more city central shrines and temples.
This walking guide route takes you into nature, delves in to folklore, and also into the time of major modernization and industrialization of Japan, the Meiji Era. We'll also see the site of a bloody samurai battle!
It is conveniently accessible from Kyoto centre, but also connects to the scenic hiking route, The Kyoto Trail, should the more adventurous visitor wish to extend their route in that direction. It's the Kyoto that most visitors don't see.
