Leaving next week, and I haven't done a test pack yet, which is verrrry unusual for me
I confess to doing a much more jam-packed itinerary than I normally do, mostly because I want to make the most of every minute of being on the other side of the planet.
- Tokyo - 3 days (then overnight bus to Hiroshima)
- Hiroshima - 1.5 days
- Kyoto - 2 days
- Osaka - 2 days (then fly to Hokkaido)
- Hokkaido - 4 days, including 2 nights with a camper van (then fly back to Tokyo)
- Tokyo - 1.5 days (then fly home)
I'm still working on the middle part, and may choose to only do Kyoto or Osaka, and not both.
Any recommendations from those of you who've visited Japan? (Especially for a vegetarian, though one not opposed to necessity meaning I have to eat fish/meat--just strongly prefer not to.)
Honestly, I'm torn between being super excited and super nervous over this one--sort of like the first time I went to Europe or South America on my own. My subsequent solo trips to those regions were not nerve-wracking at all, but going somewhere for the first time, all alone can be daunting even for people who travel a lot. Also, driving on the "wrong" side of the road LOL![]()
