I am visiting Japan in October any advice?

Here is a rough draft of my itinerary as well as places and restaurants I consider visiting in each city. I know I will most likely not do everything on the list since we are going for roughly about 9 days. I’m also traveling with 5 other family members. I’m trying my best not to overwhelm myself, but knowing how much there is to explore and how there is only so much we will be able to do in 1 week I can’t help it.

Feel free to use any helpful info from this. Comment any questions you may have. 🙌🏼

I’d appreciate any advice if you’ve already been to Japan! 🇯🇵❤️

Regardless I’m so excited and I will enjoy getting lost and immersed in the city.

Learn some of the social culture. Like the tipping is seen as pity, no eating while walking etc. I’m personally the person where I don’t wanna bring too much attention to myself so just learn the basic social standards and the basic hello and thank you.
