Japan peak travel season is here! 🌸 Everyone on your travel TL is about to be in Japan! 🤭 Just in case you're planning your own trip and it's starting to get a little overwhelming 🥹, here's a quick framework to help! 1. There are lots of castles, temples, shrines, etc. in Japan. Some cities even have all the groups listed above. You can tailor your itinerary to have a mix of popular destinations and lesser known places. 2. There's a lot to see and do in Japan! Just accept that you can not possibly see and do everything in a single short-term trip. Prioritise your list of places and make the best use of your time. ⏰️ 3. Missing in the list on the video: a fun train ride (could be a ride on shinkansen, a limited express train with great views and scenery, or a themed carriage).🚆 But don't forget about buses - especially if you're on a budget. They're often times a cheaper alternative, and sometimes, the journey time is practically the same. 4. Visiting the major cities is nice - especially for first-time travellers to the country, but as these places grapple with the effects of overtourism, it'll be great to explore lesser visited places, too. 5. I'll always recommend the overnight trip, rather than a day trip if you're keen on exploring places without the crowd. Are you heading to Japan soon, or is it on your travel wishlist?
