We’ll be calling Tokyo home for the first part of our trip as we explore this incredible city together. From early mornings to late-night ramen runs, this stay will be at the heart of our trip. Thank you for helping make it all possible we’ll be thinking of you during every moment!

This fund will go toward the little moments that make a trip unforgettable; from spontaneous experiences to hidden gems we discover along the way. If you have been to Japan and have recommendations, feel free to let us know. Thank you for helping us make the most of our time in Japan!

While we will start our trip in Tokyo, we want to explore other parts of Japan while we are here. Help us take the Shinkansen (Japan's Bullet Train) to explore Kyoto/Osaka/Nara.

As foodies ourselves, we knew Osaka, which is often referred to as "Japan's Kitchen", would be part of our trip. From Dotonburi to Osaka Castle, our day exploring Osaka will be one to remember.

Kyoto will be our home base for the second part of our trip while we explore the island of Honshu. This will be our launching point for our days in Osaka and Nara, but there are many attractions we would love to explore in Kyoto while we are here. Thank you for helping make this trip a reality!

So this is probably not a shock to anyone, but if you didn't know, we are both huge Nintendo fans, so experiencing Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan would be truly unforgettable for us.

Sake, also referred to as Japanese rice wine, is a traditional alcoholic beverage of Japanese origin made by fermenting rice that has been polished to remove the bran. There are many places across Japan that provide sake tastings, similar to wine tastings, where you get to try and learn about many different types of sake.

Treat us to an unforgettable omakase dining experience in Japan, where we’ll sit at the chef’s counter and enjoy a carefully curated, multi-course meal of the freshest sushi. This will be a highlight of our trip and a chance to fully immerse ourselves in Japan’s incredible food culture.

We’ll be visiting an onsen (Japanese hot spring) to relax, unwind, and enjoy a peaceful break from exploring. Think zen vibes, beautiful views, and total relaxation.

A huge highlight of our trip will be seeing the free-roaming, bowing deer in Nara Park. While we are here, there are many temples and museums we would love to explore.

Ramen is already one of our favorite foods so we will absolutely be partaking in at least one Ramen dinner on our trip!
