Creator's Key Takeaways

we went to Japan for eight days and we went with a group of four of us so two of us and two of our friends

the total budget per person for the week that we actually spent was around fifteen hundred dollars per person

I literally lost my wallet and passport in a 7-Eleven and a kind Samaritan turned it into the police station

we highly recommend downloading the Google Translate for Japanese

Visit in spring for cherry blossoms or fall for foliage
Use ATMs at 7-Eleven for best exchange rates
Download Google Translate and set up Pasmo/Suica cards before arrival
Book accommodations and experiences far in advance
