Hi, I'm going to Japan for about 6 days/5 nights. I'm planning on staying in Tokyo for 3 days and then going to Kyoto for 3 days until I return to Korea from Osaka airport. My aunt booked me a hotel even though I would much prefer to just stay at hostels, since it'd be easier to make friends and stuff, but whatever. Anyway, I was wondering if there was anything that I absolutely should not miss out on while I'm there. I'm planning on visiting the following, but I'm open to changing up my plans:
Tokyo Tower at night
Mt. Fuji
Edo Castle
*ABSOLUTE MUST* Eating REALLY good ramen and sushi (any recommendations for these? I personally really like Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen, but I'm open to any style, really. As for sushi, some place amazing where I could just sit in front of the chef without any worries)
Kyoto Imperial Palace
One night of drinking with friends from the US while in Tokyo
Maybe look around Osaka before my late afternoon flight? What is there to really see in Osaka?
I would love to go to a random ryokan while I'm there, but I heard they're not really keen on just taking one person (especially during travel season) since bookings are per room. I really want to try kaiseki-yori, so it would be great if I could get some recommendations and maybe drop by one of them to see if I can actually get a room.
Thanks guys
