Our Trip to Japan
two weeks across tokyo, kyoto, osaka, hakone. theme parks, animal cafes, every meal pre-planned. food guide coming.
Tokyo: Tsukiji Fish Market
go EARLY. it gets wild later. food stalls and street snacks pack in fast.
Osaka: Universal Studios Japan
amazeballs. nintendo world is the standout, prioritize it.
Tokyo: DisneySea
the best disney park in the world. unique theming, incredible design, and the food is actually good.
Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine
the iconic torii gate hike. there before 9am or you're queueing. bring bug spray.
Osaka: Dotonbori
osaka's neon-soaked food and nightlife district. best at night. street food, lights, energy.
Tokyo: Disneyland
second-best disney park overall. polished classic, but DisneySea wins.
Kyoto: Nishiki Market
kyoto's central food market street. best around late morning before peak crowds.
Nara: Nara Park
11/10. 30 minutes from osaka, 45 from kyoto. bowing deer, mochi pounding, watch out for the aggressive ones.
Tokyo: Kappabashi Street
tokyo's kitchen town. kitchenware, restaurant supply, knives. fun even if you're not buying.
Kyoto: Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
the iconic bamboo path. about a 45-minute walk. arrive VERY early or fight crowds the whole way.
