Hi! I already created the perfect itinerary for us! Pack your bags and discover Japan with me! Together we will be exploring Yokohama, Hakone and Tokyo for a week! To make this an unforgettable experience, I have chosen some unique activities for us to do, such as a cooking class, Sumo experience, checking out theme cafés and trying lots of local food! We will visit a lot of places in a short time. Also, do not miss the opportunity to savor the exquisite flavors of sushi or a steaming bowl of authentic ramen!
