Japan guide
The Perfect Japan Itinerary
So you want the perfect Japan itinerary?
Let me guess:
✅ See everything
✅ Eat everything
✅ Experience everything
✅ Do it all in 7 days?
…Sure. Easy. (Not.)
But don’t worry — here’s your survival plan:
Day 1-2: Tokyo — The Giant Vending Machine
Welcome to Tokyo — where you’ll spend half your time going, “Wait, is that a vending machine for umbrellas?”
See: Shibuya Crossing (cross 7 times, it’s tradition), Asakusa (pretend to be spiritual), and teamLab (because lasers).
Eat: Sushi, ramen, convenience store egg sandwiches that taste suspiciously amazing.
Day 3-4: Kyoto — Where Your Phone Storage Dies
In Kyoto, your camera becomes full by lunchtime.
See: Fushimi Inari (yes, those endless red gates), Arashiyama Bamboo Grove (where 17 influencers will photobomb you), and Kinkaku-ji (golden bling).
Eat: Matcha everything. Don’t ask, just accept.
Day 5: Nara — The Deer Mafia
Take a day trip to Nara.
See: Giant Buddha.
Experience: Deer politely bowing to you… until they realize you have snacks, then turning into aggressive snack bandits.
Pro tip: Hide the senbei biscuits until the last possible second.
Day 6: Osaka — Calories Don’t Count Here
Welcome to Osaka, where your diet goes into permanent vacation mode.
See: Dotonbori (neon, takoyaki, more neon).
Eat: Everything on a stick. And don’t leave without trying okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake that’s actually pizza that’s actually not pizza).
Day 7: Hakone — Pretend You’re Relaxing
Finish your trip soaking in an onsen while questioning every life decision that led you to cram Japan into one week.
Optional: Pray for a clear view of Mt. Fuji. If not: pretend you saw it.
Bonus Tip:
Perfect itinerary? It doesn’t exist.
But a fun, chaotic, unforgettable trip? Absolutely.
Moral of the story:
You’ll be back anyway — Japan knows how to reel you in.
