Great little itinerary. This is very similar to what I did on my last trip or only 5 nights. Looking forward to visiting Japan again. Thanks for the content Nathan!
@@NinjaMonkeyguy I'll second that, as I'm also going to Japan for a week in mid-January. Specific items: cash exchange ( heard it was better to do at home), SIm-card for cell phone, and using credit cards in Japan. I found out from a Japanese native, now living in the US, that his credit cards were declined in Japan, after a very recent visit. You don't want to run out of money so far from home...
Just completed my info on the web for my trip on Monday. Many times there, but first time to spend Christmas there! So excited! Thanks for your videos Nathan!
Great.. adapt it, i know some people use it and spread it across a longer period too.. or get more inspiration from my 2 week itineary: th-cam.com/video/qop6WqPbaAY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video and info, very helpful! As a suggestion for future ones, I would show the written name of the places you're mentioning on the screen. Many of these I'd like to write down or find online, but I don't know how to spell them. Cheers 👍🏼
Thanks for responding! I tried the link on my phone but I get an error message saying I don't have access to Google My Maps. Maybe it's because of my region? (Visiting from Canada). I'm also watching the video on the tv where I don't have the description handy - having the names on there would let me add them to my own map :) thank you in any case!
Let me know if this works Here's a handy map to help you out on your adventure: www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit?mid=1pCqj3hM9tZ9WjPlbRmZlLWhG07ArhI8&usp=sharing
Thank you for your ideas! I might actually look into getting a 7 day JR pass ,since i was planning on going to japan for 13 days..so a 7 day pass would cover most of the bulk of my travels.Thank you Nathan-san 🥰🍣
@@NinjaMonkeyguy 3 day in Tokyo. Then to Aomori for lunch and morning, and Hakodate for the night, and the next day return to Tokyo with a stop at Sendai. Finish the trip in Tokyo with the last night staying in Narita ;). Lol Narita is always the last night I stay
Good itenerary Ninja 🐒 I did something similar on my trip Tokyo , Kanazawa, Nagoya Tokyo because I wanted to go to the other side of Japan and I was so glad I did
Finally caught up after my NFR trip to watch this and for the most part I've sort of followed a very similar outline, but my shortest trip was ten days. I disagree with not going to Nijo Jo (castle) when in Kyoto. Also it is within an easy walk to the old Imperial Palace who grounds and gardens can be strolled through. To do these, I'd skip Fushimi Inari Shrine, but I'm not a huge fan of Tori gates. It's impressive to see but for me five minutes was enough. To each their own.
Hi can you write out the places you suggested so they are easier to find on a map? Of course Tokyo Osaka Kyoto are easy to find but the islands and lake town etc would be nice to have in writing. Thanks
Hi There.. Check out this map I created, includes all the major places, day trip options and sightseeing! Hope this helps: www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit?mid=1pCqj3hM9tZ9WjPlbRmZlLWhG07ArhI8&usp=sharing
Brilliant. This is your third video I’m watching and I appreciate it. Exactly what I wanted. Tokyo (and day trips) but needed help planning. THANK YOU. Question: in your opinion, is a tour guide necessary for a first time visitor like me? I don’t want to fall for cash grabs if I could just walk around Tokyo myself (with google maps etc). I will be staying in Shinjuku.
I think you can do it without a tour guide but a tour guide can also bring great value, piece of mind and insight into different things. If a tour guide is something you are looking for then the local guide is my suggestion or perhaps for certain days
Hey Man, thank you so much for this. This video puts all things to perspective. I actually confused about a few things because my itinerary is of 18 days, out of which I get to spend 8 going ahead and then another group is joining me. So I need to do some tweaks, which I am sure the discord server can help with. Although, the link says "invalid/expired" so, by any chance, can I get a new one to join 😁
Hi Nathan, thank you for the itinerary. It is awesome! Wondering if I follow it exactly, should I buy the JR pass? If yes, which pass should I buy? Thank you for all the amazing content.😊
The itinerary can be used as is or as a guide tweaking as needed, it would work well with a jr pass if you are planning additional day trips at the current prices. However, prices are set to go up later this year so you might need to see if it’s worth it. The itinerary is also doable without the pass perhapse even cheaper
hmmm,... not Chiba ? (^_^) ... it's true that the monorail system only goes through boring suburbs but it's the longest in the world,... and few to zero foreign tourists ...
this video was kinda pointless to me personally because you just listed places with complicated namesa dn flashed a picture. It would help if you spelled each place's name and swon it on the map
more things to work on! I know I will never have the perfect video, but I do value all feedback. Getting a balance of information for those who want it and getting straight to the point is hard, but one I know I need to work on and will continue to try doing so!
More BS?? Tokyo is no more Japan than New York City is America?? Japan has become very popular with tourists and bloggers trying to make money virtually guiding them. Think about it. Tokyo is the largest city in the world. The only rational reason to literally run around there for any length of time is to proclaim to those you hope to impress that you did?? While I don't want to offend the people living there by suggesting you visit, Hokkaido and Kyushu offer as much at a more leisurely pace a lot less crowded.
Hey, I appreciate your comment.. You obviously don't follow my channel. I'll actually be travelling for 6 weeks through part of Japan including Tohoku, covered Kyushu, shikoku, Hokkaido and love the Japanese Inaka. I travel extensivelly out of Tokyo but also think Tokyo is a great city with a lot to check out. Always recommending people head out and see more that Japan has to offer. I hope you'll check out some of my other content and future Tohoku videos too!
Do you have a 2 week itinerary video? planning to get a 7day JR pass as well to make a Tokyo sandwich 🥪. If not, this video will still come very useful 😊

5 nights wow! But I’m sure you made it work
This is exactly what I needed! I’m gong for a week in January!. Can you make a video of an updated list of things to get ready for a flight to Japan?
That might be a good idea :) great suggestion

Nice itinerary, it was impressive to see how much can fit into a 7 day visit. Thanks for this!
Thanks! Yea I think you can get a good sense of japan thanks to the amazing transport infrastructure

@@NinjaMonkeyguy thank you, still can't access it unfortunately, no worries though.
That was good infromation, I will be in Japan in March 2023 for 27 days (not counting the fight days). Done alot of planing for this.
Planning is key, hopefully my videos will help a little
Awesome video Nathan! You give the best tourist ideas for Japan!! 😊
Thanks!
thank you for this!!!
You're so welcome! I hope it gave you ideas :)
Love this vid. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! And hope you got some ideas :)
Love it! My only suggestion is to do Fushimi-Nara and then Osaka for a late night on day 5. Osaka is better at night for me. 🍣
Great tip!
Thank you for your ideas! I might actually look into getting a 7 day JR pass ,since i was planning on going to japan for 13 days..so a 7 day pass would cover most of the bulk of my travels.Thank you Nathan-san 🥰🍣
Totally .. especially if you make it a Tokyo sandwich 🥪 maybe 3 days either side with day trips and the other 7 days with travelling
Amazing video!! Perfect itinerary, can't wait for my next trip. 🍣🍣🍣🍣
Soon right?!
@@NinjaMonkeyguy Yes!! ⏰ !!! Excited for yours as well.
Thank you for this video! I was sick of super fast track instagram reals like short videos and insufficient content.
Aww thanks! What a compliment I hope you see some of my other videos too
Excellent advice, Nathan. Hoping to go in April and the information on your channel is fantastic.
Thanks! Hope you make and have a successful trip
🍣 thanks for the infomation.. see you soon

🍣 Great vid Nathan! That’s definitely a doable itinerary.

Hi Nathan. Hope you are well. Looking forward to another great video. Best wishes. Joan Nagase
Thanks Joan
Hi could u suggest what one could do in half day at hakone sorry I can’t figure how to get a sushi emojis 😊
if you only have half a day you'll be limited: walk around the lake, take the boat tour, do the ropeway or check out an onsen
Good itenerary Ninja 🐒 I did something similar on my trip Tokyo , Kanazawa, Nagoya Tokyo because I wanted to go to the other side of Japan and I was so glad I did
Yes simply swap Kyoto for another city and the itinerary changes feel

🍣 NIce itinerary - what are tour thoughts of doing it 'open jaw' (fly into Tokyo and out of KIX? or vis-versa) would allow for 1 less train hop ?
Potentially yes if you can find that route. Unfortunately not as easy as it sounds
Exellent plan ninja monkey🍣
Arigatou
How is it in Japan in June end ?
It would be the start of summer and the start of the rainy season, but don’t let you deter you
How much cost if you rent phone in airport Narita for registering in visit Japan Web us dollar?
You need to register before leaving and cannot do it at the airport
hmmm,... not Chiba ? (^_^) ... it's true that the monorail system only goes through boring suburbs but it's the longest in the world,... and few to zero foreign tourists ...
I was actually going to do this but had to cancel due to my guide having to back out 😢
Why not do it without a guide?!
@@NinjaMonkeyguy dont know the language well and I would be solo traveling out of state for the first time
@@PickledKong64 more of an adventure!!!
JR PASS too exp now. It’s over $500 AUD each.
I know!!
❤ can i bring cheese and chocolate to Japan
I'm not too sure what the import requirements are. prob check online
🍣 can’t wait to be there?
Absolutely
Ta!
this video was kinda pointless to me personally because you just listed places with complicated namesa dn flashed a picture. It would help if you spelled each place's name and swon it on the map
