🗼🍁🚌🏯 Japan Travel Guide: The Ultimate Itinerary

Japan can be a bit challenging if you don't plan well... 😅 Especially if you love off-the-beaten-path, in-depth travel with a packed schedule, you might want to consider a private tour with Ctrip! Let's take a look at the overflowing itinerary my private group crafted for me, almost too full to handle! 😂 1⃣️ Shanghai ✈️ Tokyo 2⃣️ Tokyo: Ueno Park ➡️ Ginza ➡️ Tokyo Tower ➡️ Shibuya ➡️ Kabukicho 3⃣️ Kamakura: Tokyo ➡️ Meigetsu-in Temple ➡️ Slam Dunk Checkpoint ➡️ Katase Coast 4⃣️ Hakone: Kamakura ➡️ Sky Ladder Town ➡️ Narukawa Art Museum ➡️ Ōishi Park 5⃣️ Kyoto: Hakone ➡️ Sanjūsangen-dō ➡️ Fushimi Inari Taisha ➡️ Hanami-koji ➡️ Yasaka Shrine 6⃣️ Nara: Kyoto ➡️ Nara Park ➡️ Tōdai-ji ➡️ Wakakusa Yama ➡️ Shinsaibashi, Osaka 7⃣️ Osaka: Sumiyoshi Taisha ➡️ Namba Shrine ➡️ Tsūtenkaku 8⃣️ Osaka ✈️ Shanghai Some surprise check-in spots: Tokyo 📷 Ueno Park A full day's worth of natural scenery, shrines,, a zoo, and art galleries, with countless delicious foods around 😄 📷 Tokyo Tower Sip white wine on Azabu Hill, waiting for the sunset as Tokyo Tower lights up 🗼 Kamakura - The biggest surprise of the trip 📷 Meigetsu-in Temple The most beautiful temple with a private garden behind the Buddha hall. Stepping into the garden reveals a hidden world, an exquisite Japanese-style courtyard 😄 📷 Kamakura High School Front Our guide took us a block away to a deserted spot for a comfortable, satisfying photo without the crowds 🚞 📷 Katase Coast Sunset with a clear view of Mount Fuji, capturing many girls' once-in-a-lifetime photos ❤️ Hakone 📷 Ōishi Park The lake at the river mouth is filled with various flowers and plants 😌 📷 Narukawa Art Museum I think the biggest surprise was at Narukawa Art Museum, where a floor-to-ceiling window overlooked a tranquil lake with Mount Fuji and a small red torii clearly visible ⛩️ Kyoto 📷 Kinkaku-ji The entire structure shines brilliantly, even its reflection in the water seems to glow 🌟 📷 Sanjūsangen-dō So overwhelming that words fail. Unfortunately, no photos allowed. Bought some incense from Sanjūsangen-dō to relive the solemnity and tranquility at home 🙏 Nara 📷 Kasuga Taisha Kasuga Taisha's red appears particularly vibrant because it's painted with the most expensive special red pigment, a real investment 😂 📷 Wakakusa Yama An excellent sunset spot with a view of city lights in the distance, lush mountains in the middle, and up close, deer begging for biscuits with their noses 🦌 Osaka 📷 Tsūtenkaku + Shinsekai Countless colorful retro signs and a giant golden statue of Billiken give the whole street a fantastical air. The entire trip was door-to-door service, rest on the bus, and take photos when you get off 📷 Visited all the places I wanted to, relaxed and comfortable.
