Backpacking Japan – Two-Week Itinerary

So in October 2023, my husband and I went backpacking in Japan for two weeks! It was an awesome trip and below you’ll find our itinerary in case it’s helpful for anyone else! My overall thoughts will be at the bottom.

Personal philosophy: If I can’t carry it, I’ve overpacked.

Day 1 – Travel
– Leave Atlanta at 1300

Ramen booth. SO delicious!

Day 2 – Arrive in Tokyo
– Arrive in Haneda Airport, Tokyo at 1250
– Pick up Ninja Wifi (Recommend for navigation)
– Get a bus card (they were having shortages, so we didn’t get one of these and got around almost exclusively using metro passes)
– Take metro to hotel (Nishitetsu Inn Shunjuku)
– Eat at Ichiran Ramen—yum! (Recommend)
Notes: We loved Ichiran Ramen. The ramen is delicious and the place is cool because you order from what looks like a vending machine, hand them your ticket through the window in your booth, and basically could eat dinner without having to talk to anyone—an introvert’s dream.) Our Tokyo hotel was nice and had a great central location, but I think I would stay in Asakusa next time, just because I preferred the more old-fashioned vibes to the business district)

Day 3 – Tokyo
– Tsukiji Fish Market (eat breakfast at Marutoyo – Recommend) & Tsukiji Honganji Temple
– Hamarikyu Gardens
– Ginza (High-end shopping district)
– Itoyo Stationary Store
– Ginza Tsutaya Books
– Stroll Chuo-Dori Street
– Asakusa (Old Tokyo)
– See the view from Asakusa Tourist Info Center (8th floor) (Recommend)
– Visit Sensoji temple & Nakamise Dori (the old shopping street that leads to the temple) through Kaminarimon Gate (Recommend)
– Asakusa Nishi-Sando Shopping Street
– Asakusa Shrine
– Eat lunch at Onigiri Asakusa Yadoroku
– Ueno Park
– Akihabara (Home of all things Anime & Video Games)
– Kanda Myojin Shrine
– Animate & Mandrake (anime shops)
– Chuo-dori (main) street
– Tokyo Leisure Land (arcade)
– Kotobukiya (figurine shop)
Notes: We got a super early start because we were way jet-lagged, and found that Tokyo’s pretty quiet in the morning. I’m not really a big city (or shopping) person, but I enjoyed sampling the food in the Tsukiji Fish Market and just soaking in the atmosphere of Sensoji temple. (The view from the tourist center was great.)

Day 4 – More Tokyo
– Meiji Jinju (Recommend)
– Takeshita Street (Lots of cutesy culture things)
– Shibuya Scramble
– Golden Gai & Piss Alley (Omoide Yokocho)
– Imperial Gardens
– Have dinner with friend!
Notes: Definitely go to things early if you’d like it to be quiet. Definitely enjoyed a dawn walk to Meiji Jinju. Obviously Shibuya Scramble isn’t super impressive though if it’s not busy so we ended up stopping by later in the evening.

Day 5 – Fuji Five Lakes
– Took train to Fuji Five Lake
– Rented bikes from hotel and biked to Arakurayama Sengen Park to see the Chureito Pagoda (Recommend)
– Biked around lakes to Oishi and Nagasaki Park (Recommend)
Notes: Okay, this was an awesome day. I loved just biking around the small town and soaking in the area. We had a gorgeous day and I could *not* stop taking pictures. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip! We stayed in HaoStay, which had a gorgeous view of Fuji right out our window, and I think it was my husband’s favorite hotel of the trip too.

Day 6 – Kyoto
– Took a train to Kyoto
– Strolled around Nishiki Market & Gion (Recommend)
Notes: The atmostphere of Gion (the historical Geisha district in Kyoto) was super cool, and we actually managed to catch a glimpse of a Geisha going about her business. She stepped out right in front of us to cross the street as we were wandering down a quiet alley and it was kind of a surreal experience. We stayed in Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura – Urushitei which was pretty average in location and rooms, so I don’t know if I’d recommend it. In general, while Tokyo was obviously an ultra modern city, and Fuji Five Lakes has a more rural small town feel, Kyoto definitely has a old, traditional Japan vibe.

Day 7 – Kyoto
– Kiyomizu-dera (Recommend)
– Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
– Okochi Sanso Garden (Recommend)
– Monkey Park Iwatayama (Recommend)
– Kinkaku-Ji (the gold temple)
– Kyoto Imperial Palace (Recommend)
Notes: I really want to reiterate that you’ll get the best experience at places if you go as early as possible. But… you can’t go early to everything, so you’ll have to decide which you one is highest priority. It was really nice to explore Kiyomizu-dera when it was practically empty, by the time we got to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest (still early) it was already pretty crowded), the monkey park was still pretty empty when we arrived, but by the time we got to Kinkaku-Ji it was PACKED. We also stayed in K’s House Kyoto on days 7 & 8 which I actually think we liked better than the traditional Ryokan (and it was way cheaper.)

Day 8 – Kyoto
– Fushimi Inari Taisha (Recommend)
– Higashiyama Jisho-ji (Recommend)
– Philosopher’s Path
– Nanzen-ji Temple (Recommend)
– Nara Park (Recommend)
– Todai-ji
– Isuien Garden
Notes: Loved the Fushimi Inari Taisha and got there first thing in the morning so it wasn’t crowded at all. Same with Higashiyama Jisho-ji. Nanzen-ji Temple was a spur of the moment thing since it was around the end of the Philosopher’s Path, but it was super peaceful and pleasant. And Nara Park is totally worth it for the bowing deer alone.

Day 9 – Start Kumano Kodo Multi-Day Hike (Recommend)
– Take Train to Kii-Tanabe
– Take Bus to Hongu
– Hike From Hongu to Yunomine Onsen
– Stay at Minshuku Yunosato Recommend
Notes: Long travel day, but definitely enjoyed the history behind this pilgrimage trek and staying in the small rural towns. Relaxing in the onsen in Minshuku Yunosato after a long day and an amazing meal was perfection.

Day 10 – Hike Kumano Kodo
– Bussed from Yunomine Onsen to Ukegawa
– Walked Ukegawa to Koguchi
– Stayed at Shizen-no-Ie (recommend)
Notes: Super pleasant hike and fun to catch up with fellow hikers at the middle school turned lodging. It’s next to a river in a small town and just super pleasant and peaceful.

Day 11 – Hike Kumano Kodo and take train to Osaka
– Walk from Koguchi to Kumano Nachi Taisha
– Took bus from Nachisan to Kii-Katsuura Station
– Took train from Kii-Katsuura
Notes: We way overestimated how long it would take us to get to the train station. This leg took us around 6 hours to hike and I think I estimated 9 for our train tickets, so we didn’t end up getting to Osaka till late. We also saw two snakes today! One looked like a harmless grass snake and the other was a pit viper that scared the crap out of me before it took off into a rock wall. I thought it would be too cool for them in mid October but beware!

Day 12 – Miyajima
– Take train to Hiroshima & drop bags at hotel
– Take train & ferry to Miyajima (Recommend)
– Take cable car up Mt Misen
– Daishoin
– Momijidani Park
– Stay in Hiroshima (Hotel Granvia Hiroshima – recommend)
Notes: So I originally thought we’d have time to see Osaka castle before we left, but our train times didn’t work out that way. It’s the one thing I wished we’d see that we missed! But just a heads up, the deer on Miyajima don’t bow like the deer in Nara.

Day 13 – Hiroshima
– Hiroshima Castle
– Peace Memorial Park, Museum, & Atomic Bomb Dome (recommend)
– Shukkeien Garden (recommend)
– Take train back to Tokyo
Notes: The museum is, of course, sobering, (and the park was filled with Japanese kids on school trips) but in general I was kind of surprised by how vibrant Hiroshima feels.

Day 14 – Tokyo
– Teamlab Planets (recommend)
– Go see the giant Gundam (recommend)
– Buy pokemon stuff for the kids
– Lunch with friends
– Visit the graves of the 47 ronin (recommend)
– Dinner with writing critique partner!
Notes: If you, too, are looking for Pokemon (and all kinds of other) souveniers for your kids, I recommend Tokyo Station. The Pokemon store there is way less crowded than the Pokemon center, has most of the same stuff, and is less out of the way. Also, I originally wanted to check out the Ghibli creampuff factory, but heads up you need to make your orders or a reservation in advance because they sell out! We were able to swing by and at least buy a few cookies though.

Day 15 – Travel home!
Final thoughts: We had a great time on this trip and covered *a lot* of ground (I think we walked on average around 13 mi a day.) I think the Kumano Kodo or Fuji Five Lakes were my favorite places, and Tokyo was probably my least favorite. As someone who’s not into crowds or shopping, it really just wasn’t my scene. Because everything’s so crowded, we actually ended up eating at 7-elevens a lot. (Which was delicious, but you know, nothing fancy. Definitely recommend getting reservations if you’d like to eat at a restaurant.)

But Kyoto, Miyajima, and Hiroshima were also *all* well worth the visit, and I really just enjoyed soaking in the culture of Japan. The two things I wish we’d had time for are hiking Fuji (the hiking season is from end of June to beginning of September, so it just didn’t line up with our dates) and seeing Osaka castle. If we ever go back to Japan, I think I’d definitely like to do more natural beauty / outdoor stuff off the beaten path or maybe even head up to Hokkaido. Though in October, we were there in the shoulder season, and definitely had some pleasant mornings, after around 10 things get so incredibly crowded, it’s a little overwhelming.

But it’s a *long* 14-15 hour flight to make it over there, so I’m not sure if we’ll be able to venture to that side of the world again any time soon! Still, super grateful to have been able to go, and if you have any questions, just leave a comment!

Italy & Mediterranean Cruise 14-Day Itinerary

So, this itinerary is actually from my husband and I’s delayed Honeymoon way back in 2015! For the record, I was *so* glad we delayed our honeymoon six-ish months after our wedding. Having the honeymoon-planning craziness on top of the wedding-planning craziness would’ve been too exhausting for me.

But I digress. I figured I’d put up our itinerary here for posterity’s sake and in case it’s helpful to anyone else. Since it’s been nine years, so it’s kind of interesting to really see what was memorable or not, and I was able to dig up the itinerary and my husband’s trip journal, so it is accurate!

This was also the first trip that I planned all by myself, and I’m not going to lie, I think I did a pretty awesome job. Self-five 25-year-old me! Please keep in mind though that when I vacation, I like to go at a breakneck pace and cover a lot of ground. Since half of this vacation was a cruise though, the first half was pretty chill!

When my husband and I took this trip, I had already backpacked around Italy before, but it was his first time in Europe, and even though it’s been a decade, we still both remember this trip as being astoundingly awesome.

14-Day Itinerary

4 Jun: Travel
– Fly from Florida to Rome and take a train to Venice
Notes: After this trip, I no longer voluntarily fly on American Airlines (see below.)

5 Jun: Venice, Italy
– Arrive in Rome in the morning
– Take a train to Venice
– Spend the night in Venice (Alloggi Agli Artisti Hostel – solid!)
Notes: The trip actually started out really poorly. Our plane broke while we were taxi’ing on the runway, and then American Airlines tried to tell us they wouldn’t be able to get us to Italy until a day later… which would’ve meant missing our cruise. I cried and it was stressful, but eventually we did manage to arrive in Italy only eight hours later than planned. Then, when we got there, the train connecting the airport to the central train station wasn’t running. Thankfully, they fixed it and we made our train to Venice with 10 minutes to spare. Now, even years later, I have a deep-seated distrust of American Airlines, and if we’re getting to the cruiseport via plane, we now make sure to get there 48 hours in advance.

  • View from the Bridge of Sighs in the Doge’s Palace in Venice.

6 Jun: Venice & Cruise Ship
– See Venice (Doges Palace Tour & Rialto Bridge/Market)
– Check in to Cruise (Royal Caribbean’s Splendour of the Seas left Venice at 1700)
Notes: Venice is gorgeous. I enjoyed getting lost in the city just as much as the first time I was there. My husband enjoyed the palace tour and the history.

7 Jun: Dubrovnik, Croatia
– Cruise stop in Dubrovnik
– Walk the medieval walls of the walled city of Dubrovnik
Notes: Dubrovnik is eye-poppingly gorgeous. Completely unreal. Also, apparently scenes from Game of Thrones was filmed here. I’m pretty sure we also went to Fort Lovrijenac right outside the walls. (Which you can see in the pictures)

8 Jun: Cruise Ship
– At Sea Day
Notes: Since this trip, my husband and I have been on several cruise lines, but I remember this cruise being very enjoyable. Solid food, lots to do, & the other four couples at our dining table were all on their Honeymoon too!

9 Jun: Kusadasi, Turkey
– Cruise Stop in Kusadasi
– Guided tour of Ephesus, Temple of Apollo & Miletus
Notes: Enjoyed the tour & the history! Cool ancient ruins and we learned a lot about Turkey from the tour guide.

10 Jun: Santorini, Greece
– Cruise stop in Santorini
– Take bus to Oia & hike back to Thera
Notes: So we walked up the switchback cliff path instead of taking the cable car or taking a donkey. We were early enough that there was no traffic on the way up, but on the way down, I swear we were almost un-alived by a donkey stampede. (Mostly because I was laughing too much to properly get out of the way.) We walked from Oia to Thera along a 6 mi path carved into the cliffs and my husband wrote in his trip journal: “The views were probably the best I’ve ever seen on any hike.” (And the man grew up in Hawaii, you all, so this is saying something.)

11 Jun: Katakolon, Greece
– Katakolon; see Olympia
Notes: Bussed out to Olympia, which was the site of the first Olympics and the ruins of the temple of Zeus which once contained the statue of Zeus (another one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.) I like ruins and historical sites, so I enjoyed it.

12 Jun: Cruise Ship
– At Sea
– Notes: always nice to have a relaxing day, especially considering the second half of our itinerary…

13 Jun: Venice, Italy
– Return in Venice
– See St Mark’s Basilica
– Ride in a gondola
– Spend night in Venice
Notes: Spent most of the day getting lost in Venice (in the best way.) I was *very* reluctant to take a gondola ride as it seemed to incredibly touristy, but I’m actually so glad we did. Our gondalier took us down the quieter canals of Venice and sang to us in Italian along the way—it was expensive but worth it. Also we found a hole-in-the-wall pasta place, Dal Moro’s, which my foodie husband still reminisces about to this day as the best pasta he’s had in his life. La Mela Verde is also a excellent gelato place.

14 Jun: Florence, Italy
– Take train to Florence
– Duomo
– Palazzo Vecchio
– See Michelangelo’s David in Galleria Academia
– Ponte Vecchio
– Giardini Boboli
– Fort Belvedere
– Piazza Della Signoria
– Piazzale Michelangelo
– Spend day/night in Florence (Plus Florence – solid!)
Notes: Recommend All’anti Vinaio for delicious sandwiches & Antica Gelateria. I’m a firm believer that when in Italy, one should eat Gelato every day. Honestly this was my second time in Florence, and while I enjoyed it, it doesn’t stick with me as much as our other locations.

15 Jun: See Pisa & Hike Cinque Terra
– See the leaning tower of Pisa
– Hike Cinque Terra
– Take train to Rome (Rome Accomodation Hostel – I don’t recommend this one, I usually don’t care about beds, but I remember being able to feel every spring in that mattress, and though it’s in a central location, the surrounding area wasn’t great.)
Notes: Took the train to Pisa (it’s just as interesting seeing it the second time, I honestly can’t believe it hasn’t fallen), climbed up, took the train to La Spezia Centrale, stored our bags, and caught another train to Monterosso. The city sits on the west coast of Italy and serves as the northernmost point of the Cinque Terre trails that run through five little towns along the sea. A tough hike, but the views are incredible. We walked to Corniglia, then took the train back to La Spezia, grabbed our bags, and snagged a train to Rome.

16 Jun: Rome, Italy
– St Peter’s Basilica
– Vatican (St Peter’s Square & The Sistine Chapel)
– Colosseum/Forum/Palatine Hill
– Pantheon
– Trevi Fountain
– Spanish Steps
– Piazza Navona Fountains
– Spend night in Rome
Notes: Rome —a seamless blend of ancient and modern—is a city of famous things that are worth the hype, and it’s pretty easy to navigate via the metro and sturdy walking shoes. St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican, St. Peter’s Square, the Sistine Chapel, and other artworks there (I love Raphael’s “School of Athens” fresco) are breathtaking. Also, Alice Pizza nearby is a solid eat. Next was the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Pantheon (where we found a classical a capella group making excellent use of the dome’s acoustics.) We walked up to Trevi fountain, but unfortunately it was mostly obscured by construction. (I have seen it before, but I wasn’t unduly disappointed to miss it this time.) Next we walked to the Spanish Steps and the Piazza Navona fountains.

17 Jun: Pompeii, Italy (Day Trip)
– Take train out and back to Pompeii
Notes: I LOVE Pompeii (this was my second time.) The extent to which the amazing city was preserved is incredible and it really seems to transport you back in time with Pompeii looming in the background. According to my husband’s trip journal, apparently we also went to the Arcibasilica di San Giovanni… but I have no memory of that. 😂 My husband also says we got some of the best gelato from Il Gelato Di San Crispino, so that was probably forefront on my mind. 😂

18 Jun: Fly home!

Final thoughts

From my husband’s trip journal:

The cruise gave us time to relax and enjoy the vacation first before we tore through Italy. Santorini was my favorite cruise destination. The island was just so unique with its gravity-defying cliffhouses and incredible walking path between cities. Of our week in Italy, Venice was my favorite city. I love that there are no cars. The curving alleys and little hard to find holes-in-the-wall make it seem magical. Pompeii had my favorite ruins but the theater in Ephesus and the road that led up to the theater were a very close second. We never had any problems with a language barrier. Almost everywhere we went there seemed tobe enough English spoken to get anything done.

Me reflecting nine years later:

The places I remember most from this trip were Venice (the gondola, Dal Moro’s, and just wandering around), hiking Santorini (especially the donkey path), and hiking Cinque Terra. My favorite things I was glad to see a second time and was so thrilled to show my husband were the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Pompeii, the Colosseum, the Vatican, and the Sistine Chapel.)

Overall though, besides the initial travel snafus, there’s really nothing I would’ve changed about this itinerary. We got to relax and cover a lot of ground in turns, while seeing some of the most beautiful places in the world.

Highly, highly recommend and if you have any questions, just give a shout. Also if you want to check out our other travel itineraries from past destinations you can find them here. Thanks for reading!

***

The finish line was only the beginning.

Champion race royalers Ezren Hart and Foster Sterling never dreamed winning the Belethea Race Royale and solving their teammate’s murder would only be the start of their troubles. With legal proceedings taking an unfortunate turn, accusations of a sham race, and a divided Belethea of warring ideals, they find themselves in the middle of a storm once again.

However, when a mysterious private investigator shows up at their doorstep with news that Ezren’s long-missing father’s life hangs in the balance, she doesn’t hesitate to chart their course to the incendiary moon of Otho despite Foster’s misgivings. But after political violence separates the pair before they even get off the ground, Foster scrapes together a crew to go after her.

While Ezren and Foster race toward Otho, the growing ripples of corruption bring the system to the brink of war with the two of them balanced on the tipping point. As they run, drive, and fight across an explosive land scarred with bullets and death, they’ll have to decide what sacrifices they’re willing to make for a dangerous discovery in a world prepared to silence their voices forever.

Because on Otho, there are no winners—only survivors.

Audiobook Review – The Library at Mount Char

This was… a very weird book. My coworker begged me for months to read it so that we can talk about the end. So finally, here we are. First of all this book is very dark, so watch the content warnings, and I can honestly say that throughout, I had no idea where it was all going, but I thought the end suitably fit to complete the picture.

While I did appreciate how unique the premise and set up was of this world, my biggest issue was that I didn’t really care or connect with any of the characters, so I felt like I witnessed their bizarre, almost-trippy plight in a kind of detached way. And because of the way this is set up, I felt like the climax was extremely understated. That said, if you’re looking for a dark, strange tale of powerful Gods that feels a “out there,” this might be for you.

⭐⭐⭐½

Yes, you were right, coworker, that book was definitely weird.

Thanks for reading!

Audiobook Review – The Tipping Point

I didn’t find this one quite as compelling or novel as some of Gladwell’s other books, but the breakdown of how ideas are spread and the case studies illustrating the points are interesting. The audiobook is only 3 hours, so definitely worth a listen if you’re interested in the nature of virality. Though it doesn’t mention the influence of social media on these ideas, the afterword does include other interesting applications inspired by the principles.

⭐⭐⭐⭐½

Totally ready for my books to hit the tipping point over here, just saying. (A girl can dream.)

Thanks for reading!

Audiobook Review – None of This is True

This is my second Lisa Jewell book, and it gave me a very similar feeling to the first one. (The Night She Disappeared.) Although it held my attention, I couldn’t quite connect with the characters and didn’t find the (not-so-happy) ending to be as satisfying as I would’ve hoped. However, if you like unreliable main characters and a domestic mystery that runs a bit on the grittier side, check this one out!

⭐⭐⭐½

Ehh… probably not for me, but this could be for you!

Thanks for reading!

Audiobook Review – Talking to Strangers

So when I picked this book up, I don’t think I knew exactly what I was getting into. Covering recent high-profile events of violence, rape, pedophilia, and torture in detail—this is a stomach-turning and uncomfortable read.

And though the accounts Gladwell brings to the table are interesting, for the first 95% of this book, I didn’t actually know what the punchline was or how these topics connected.

At first this seemed to be a book about how difficult it is to actually detect when someone is lying. But then we also delved into topics of both coupling and alcohol. Disparate strands that I’m still having trouble trying together into the final conclusion.

Which (I think) is that in 99% of cases it doesn’t pay off to expect the worst of people, and we cannot turn murky grays into black and white. Honestly, I’m still chewing it all over. But if you’re looking for a different perspective to provoke thought (and you don’t mind dark topics), you might try this one. Though I do believe you have to read to the very end to see what he’s trying to get at.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Watch those content warnings, my friends.

Thanks for reading!

Book Review – The Maiden Ship

Definitely enjoyed this heartwarming, magical adventure on the sea with its huge found family vibes, colorful cast, a sweet slow-burn romance, and old lore. Will definitely be reading book 2!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m a sucker for an adventure on the high seas!

Thanks for reading!

Audiobook Review – The Bomber Mafia

Malcolm Gladwell is one of the few nonfiction authors that can really draw me in. The way he writes and narrates his audiobooks makes me feel like I’m sitting across the table from him and he’s telling me a story and teaching me a history lesson at the same time. He showcases so much depth to the figures of history, their motivations, and the chain of events that led to huge world events in a way that’s both incredibly intelligent but also so accessible, I’m always drawn in. The actual audio of the interviews too ranging back fifty years were also a really awesome addition to this. My only critique is that the overarching story or theme of this book feels a little lost. It feels like, in a way, he was pitting LeMay and Hansell against one another, but that narrative feels a little murky. Then again, history is murky, so maybe he hit it just right.

⭐⭐⭐⭐½

Gladwell is one of the *very* few that can interest me in a nonfiction book, so cheers to that.

Thanks for reading!

Book Review – A Daughter of the Trolls

Beautiful writing with an imaginative and unique fairy-tale-like adventure in an atmospheric world both cozy and dark. Lovable characters, a sweet romance, and a few twists along the way. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to read book 2!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Heartwarming and creepy at the same time. I’m here for it!

Thanks for reading!
