So I've gotten a number of questions on how I usually plan my trips, especially to Japan, as I've been there for a number of times (6 times... and counting, lol).

Instead of sharing my itineraries, I think it's best for me to explain how I do it instead so you can plan the Japan trip of your dreams that suits your liking. Everyone has their own travel comfort level & other preferences to take into account when they plan to travel, so hopefully these tips can help you a bit!
