>Shinsekai
Shinsekai is in Osaka, not Himeji. Good list and a good place for others to grab highlights but I think you've overstuffed for a 3 week trip. Have you accounted for travel time?

Also. Skipping Kobe?

Anon09/18/25, 18:02No.2824939
it's a little sparse imo but probably is a difference in travel style
>himeji
I was finished with the castle and garden in only a few hours. Consider going up mt shosha for the engyoji temple complex. it's incredibly kino and hardly had any visitors esp foreign tourists. pic rel

Since you're going to a lot of Parks and Museum I'll recommend youhttps://travel.gaijinpot.com/tokyo-museum-grutto-pass-2025/
https://www.rekibun.or.jp/en/grutto/
For ¥2,500 you get access to all of these
https://www.rekibun.or.jp/en/grutto/facilities/
It's also a great way to check out some more museums, gardens and exhibitions.Second your Osaka on really seems like a 1-2 day worth of activities lolWhy not Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park, Daisen Park with the Kofun or Nagai Park with the Team Lab Garden and Natural History Museum, no Kaiyukan Aquarium one of the best in the world?No Tsutenkaku and the food around it?

>Tokyo – 8 days
Wow and it's ruined
Nothing to do in any city on earth for 8 days as a tourist with a brain, unless you brought work on your laptop to go do some work in a coffee shop. Otherwise it's just shopping and eating food/drinking beer that's marked up like crazy in tourist areas and then wasting your money partying
The city is where your hotel is, and that's it at the most

Do people seriously follow itineraries like this?
Why?
It sounds so stressful

Expat who emigrated to Japan several days ago. Not planning on doing anything major now (because I'm living in a hotel for five days), but what's the best way (theoretically) for someone to travel to Kyoto to visit Best Warlord's shrine to pay proper respects and make it back to Osaka without breaking the bank? I don't give a shit about the geisha or pissing off the geriatric locals. I made enough of a fool of myself at the airport in Tokyo. I just want to visit the dude's grave, and get right back out. Been on my bucket list for years.

I'd definitely recommend Enoshima on the Kamakua day, though you might have to cut something else for it.

What about fun activities (in Tokyo for example) fun things to do in addition to site seeing?

Someone give me the perfect itinerary to honor best unifier. And if you don't know who best unifier is, then you shouldn't be doling out suggestions for this in the first place.
