Discover Japan's Magic: A 10-Day Adventure from Tokyo🗼to Kyoto ⛩️ and Osaka 🏯

🙋 About me: Me? I'm Talia, 22 years old and born in Aotearoa New Zealand. Exploring new and exciting things is my passion, and you can usually find me, in the nearest coffee shop, frantically googling all the places I want to go for my future trips. This will be my first visit to Japan and I cannot wait to share the experience with you! 👀 What am I looking for in a TripMate? Ideally, you would be between the ages of 20 and 35. You will be capable of walking long distances, Japan includes A LOT of walking. Ultimately this is a holiday, so while there will be booked activities and travel times, most of this trip will be spent exploring without structure and taking each day as it comes.

🏨 Accommodation: During our journey, we'll be sharing accommodations with fellow Tripmates, with a maximum of 2 people per room. With the final night hosted at a capsule hotel. In a capsule hotel, the beds are private, but the bathrooms are shared. Most accomodation in Japan is very communal. 🚄 Transport: Japan's Rail pass has increased its fees as of October 2023. Using the calculator on the website has shown that its fees are not worth it for this specific trip. Instead, we will talk about options on our call and in person. Transport within cities can be used with a Welcome Suica card for foreigners. Shinkansen (Bullet trains) between cities have been included in the fee. 📄 Planning and Communication: I'll handle all the planning and booking aspects that require advance arrangements. Notably, attractions like Disneyland Tokyo and teamLabs are highly popular and tend to book out fast, if this is the case we will discuss further alternatives during our call. 📳 WhatsApp Group Chat: I'll set up a WhatsApp group chat before our trip to facilitate trip-related discussions such as questions, do's and don'ts, tips, and more. It's also an excellent platform for you to familiarize yourself with your fellow TripMates. 👥 Group Size: Our group will consist of 1-4 people, striking a balance between being intimate yet lively. 💹 Buffer: Please be aware that I have added a small buffer in case things end up being a little more expensive. TRIPMATES: This Trip is confirmed to go ahead. I can't wait to go on this adventure together! See you in Tokyo!
