I plan to go to Japan around the end of march with my friend We plan to spend about a week and go to Tokyo and then Kyoto and maybe Nara, Osaka and Himeji. I am primarily going to go in the spring to see the cherry blossoms and it isn't blistering hot. There is also a cool light festival around the same time in kyoto called Hanatoro but I think id miss cherry blossom season if I went since it is a week before they start blooming but it might be worth missing considering a guy that has been living there for 20 years says they almost always get rained out.. anyways I have a list of places I plan to go to within those cities and I was wondering if you guys have been there before or if you have some tips or cool places I could visit there.
