10 Day Japan Itinerary
The Boutique Adventurer
Foreign travellers can gain access to Japan for 90 days without a visa, as long as they have their return ticket booked.
How to get there: if possible fly into Haneda rather than Narita airport at the start of your trip to Japan.
Day 1
Spend the Day in Shibuya and Ginza
Be prepared for everything to catch your attention; the bright billboards, chatty people, and flashing lights.
Day 2
Fish Market and Harajuku
The fish market apparently has the best seafood during breakfast. After this, you can explore all the shops and culture in Harajuku.
Day 3
Mount Fuji
Head outside of Tokyo for a day or hiking and enjoy time outdoors. Mount Fuji is a sight to behold up close.
