3 Weeks in Japan in 9 Minutes

Hi, I'm Tim. This is my three week trip to Japan in April 2023.
This was my very first trip to Japan ever, and I was beyond excited. Everything went even better than I could have imagined.
First stop was Tokyo. Team Lab Planets, Tokyo Disney Sea, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Ginza. Best pizza of my life and michelin star ramen!
Next, we took a shinkansen down to the Izu peninsula to visit Ochiairo Ryokan. Gorgeous countryside, beautiful views, stunning onsens, and unforgettable food.
After that, we headed back on the shinkansen to Kansai. Osaka is home to the stunning Universal Studios Japan (with Super Nintendo World - which was a dream come true). We stopped off for some incredible okonomiyaki and yakisoba, before heading out to Kyoto.
Park Hyatt in Kyoto was our very brief home. A stunning, panaramic garden view room, right in the heart of old Kyoto. Traditional temples, shopping, and beautiful views. Kyoto was unforgettably gorgeous.
We finished our trip back in Tokyo. Of course more shopping and eating, as well as plenty of exploring. Kichijoji and the Ghibli Museum, Asakusa and street food. So much to do, so much to see.
