I’m planning a 7-day trip to Japan and here’s a rough idea of my plans. I’ll start in Tokyo, exploring Asakusa, Shibuya, and Odaiba, then head to Nikko for Toshogu Shrine and Kegon Waterfall. Afterward, I’ll visit Hakone to enjoy hot springs and Mount Fuji views. I’ll spend a few days in Kyoto, visiting Kinkaku-ji, Fushimi Inari, and Arashiyama, and finish in Osaka, checking out Osaka Castle and Dotonbori. I’ve budgeted for flights, accommodation, food, transport, and activities for a mid-range experience.
