Creator's Key Takeaways

I really honestly recommend for your first trip in Japan not doing the golden route as advertised because you spend all your time in trains, planes, and automobiles.

What I do really recommend for your first trip in Japan is focusing on one of those big city regions.

I would recommend you look at flights into Haneda or HND.

I would recommend you stay in one of those areas that are in bold because those are the most well-connected.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Focus on one big city region (Tokyo or Osaka/Kyoto) for a 10-day trip.

✓Consider flying into Haneda Airport for easier access to central Tokyo.

✓For an Osaka/Kyoto-focused trip, stay near Osaka Station and take day trips to Kyoto, Nara, or Kobe.
