The Ultimate 2-Week Itinerary for Japan (with Insider Tips)

Planning a first-time trip to Japan? This is the perfect 2-week Japan itinerary from Osaka to Tokyo with insider tips and top experiences. Don’t miss out!

Share:

Japan has always been a dream destination for us, and if you’re reading this, it’s probably on your list too. We created this resource page to give you a complete, two-week itinerary for your trip, filled with the best things to see and do from Osaka to Tokyo and everything in between. This is the ultimate guide we wish we had before our first trip, complete with insider tips and lessons from our own travels.

Week 1: Osaka, Kyoto & Day Trips

Day 1: Arriving in Osaka

  • Dotonbori: As you settle in, head to this lively district. It's best experienced at night, with all the neon lights reflecting on the canal. While the restaurants may not be the most local, the atmosphere is electric. Don't forget to get a photo with the famous Glico Running Man sign!

Days 2 & 3: Exploring Osaka

  • Osaka Castle: A must-visit. You can explore the grounds and decide if you want to go inside. Try out the Ninja Throwing Stars inside Miraiza (next to Osaka Castle).

  • Umeda Sky Building: For an amazing view of the city, head to the Floating Garden Observatory.

  • Namba Yasaka Shrine: This unique shrine is famous for its giant lion head stage.

Purchase tickets online through GetYourGuide so you don’t waste time in long queues ⬇️

Powered by GetYourGuide

💡 Insider Tip: Carry a small notebook to collect beautiful stamps from the landmarks and temples/shrines you visit.


Days 4, 5, & 6: Day Trips from Osaka

We recommend staying in Osaka and using it as a base for day trips, which is very convenient. You can use the train for an easy trip or rent a car for more flexibility.


💡 Insider Tip: When we travel, we always rent cars through a platform called QEEQ, which gives us the best rates and has a straightforward booking process. Finding a reliable and easy-to-use service can make a huge difference in your travel planning. For 5% OFF your booking, use code QRCARMA5.


  • Day 4: Himeji (We highly regret not visiting this city during our trip!)

    • Just an hour away from Osaka by train.

    • Himeji Castle: Known as Japan’s most spectacular feudal-era castle.

    • Koko-en Garden: A traditional Japanese garden right next to the castle.

Powered by GetYourGuide
  • Day 5: Kobe

    • A quick 30-minute train ride from Osaka.

    • Kobe Beef: Indulge in Japan’s most famous beef at one of the many restaurants.

    • Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens: Take a gondola lift up to these beautiful gardens, especially vibrant during autumn, which offer incredible views of the city.

    • Harborland: End your day in Kobe by visiting the waterfront at night.

Powered by GetYourGuide

💡 Booking Tip: We use GetYourGuide to book our experiences in Japan. You can search by city, like Kobe, to find tours and activities easily. If you download the app and use code CARMAADVENTURES5 you get 5% OFF your first booking.


  • Day 6: Universal Studios Japan (USJ)

    • This is a popular spot that can get very busy. Our biggest mistake was not having an Express Pass. If you want to experience Nintendo World, you’ll need to either get there extremely early or get a pass.


💡 Insider Tip: Trip.com has the best selection of Express Pass tickets, and they are also cheaper than on the USJ website! Learn more in our blog “7 Mistakes to Avoid at Universal Studios Japan”.


Day 7: Kyoto

  • Fushimi Inari Shrine: We woke up at 4 am to visit this iconic shrine to avoid the crowds.

  • Arashiyama Bamboo Forest

  • Gion District: Explore the geisha district, with its historic tea houses. You can also rent a kimono for the day (this is where we rented our kimonos, although it is a bit far from the landmarks).

  • Travel to Tokyo: The best way to get to Tokyo from here is by Shinkansen (the famous bullet train). The ride is only about 2.5 hours.

Powered by GetYourGuide

💡 How to save money on transport around Japan? We found Klook to be the cheapest website to buy Shinkansen tickets from, as it was more affordable than the official website. If the train is too expensive, an 8-hour bus ride is also an option.

Week 2: Tokyo, Nikko & Mt. Fuji

Days 8, 9 & 10: Tokyo

You've made it to your dream city! Three days is the minimum amount of time to explore the city's vast and diverse neighbourhoods.

  • Day 8: Shibuya

    • Shibuya Crossing: Experience the world’s busiest intersection.

    • Shibuya Hikarie Building: Get a great, free view of the crossing from the observation deck.

    • Walk around, find the Nintendo and Pokémon shops, and maybe even spot a few supercars.

  • Day 9: Shinjuku & Harajuku

    • Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building: Go to the observation deck for more free panoramic city views.

    • Godzilla Area: Explore the area around the Gracery Hotel with its giant Godzilla head.

    • Harajuku: Walk down Takeshita Street and visit the peaceful Meiji Shrine. Be sure to try some Japanese pancakes! We ate some amazing Japanese pancakes in Osaka.

  • Day 10: Asakusa & Akihabara

    • Asakusa: Visit the historic Senso-ji Temple.

    • Tokyo Skytree, Ueno Park, Akihabara: See some of Tokyo's most famous landmarks.

    • Car Meet-ups: If you're a car enthusiast, check out the Daikoku Parking Area, Tatsumi Parking Area, or Umiotaro PA. While you can go on your own, booking a tour is the best way to ensure you'll actually experience a car meet-up. We went with our rental car and unfortunately didn't find any supercars (some of these tours allow you to drive the car).

Powered by GetYourGuide

Day 11: Nikko Day Trip

  • This is a long day trip (about 3 hours from Tokyo each way), but it is absolutely worth it.

    • Shinkyo Bridge

    • Toshogu Shrine

    • Rinno-ji Temple

    • Futarasan Shrine

    • Kegon Falls

    • Lake Chuzenji

Powered by GetYourGuide

Days 12 & 13: Mt. Fuji


💡 Insider Tip: We rented a car to visit Mt. Fuji, which gave us the flexibility to explore at our own pace. If you opt not to rent a car, there are tours available, or you can go by train.


  • Stay at a Ryokan: Book a traditional Japanese inn with an onsen (hot spring). The best platforms to book stays are Agoda and Booking.com. This is the Ryokan we stayed in, and we absolutely loved it.

  • Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway: Take in the incredible views from this scenic ropeway.

  • Hirano Beach: Our favourite spot. It's a peaceful place to relax by the lake, watch the swans, and enjoy a breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji.

This activity is ideal for anyone who wants to make the most of their time at Mount Fuji and take the best pictures⬇️

Day 14: Departure

This is the itinerary we recommend for your first time visiting Japan. It’s full of cultural and fun activities.

13 Unique Experiences You Can Only Do in Japan

Don't miss out on these 13 unique experiences in Japan, from local cooking to manga cafe stays. Immerse yourself in Japanese culture like never before.

Share:

Japan is packed with experiences you simply can’t find anywhere else, from training like a samurai to sleeping in an anime cafe. If that sounds insane, just wait until you see the rest. In this guide, we're taking you through 13 of the most unique experiences that will make your trip to Japan truly unforgettable. Personally, our favourite is the bonus experience…

1. Cook with Locals in a Japanese Home

Go beyond just eating at restaurants and learn to make iconic Japanese food like sushi, ramen, or okonomiyaki from a local host. This is a fantastic way to understand Japanese ingredients, etiquette, and family culture. Many platforms now connect travellers directly with host families.

  • Best platform: Nagomi Visit

  • How it works: You send a request to find a host, receive host offers, and can chat with your host before the day of cooking. All hosts are prepared to speak English.

2. Sleep in a Manga/Anime Café

Forget boring capsule hotels, stay overnight in a manga kissa! These cafes offer private cubicles with a reclining chair, unlimited manga, free drinks, and showers. It's a quirky and uniquely "only in Japan" experience.

  • What it is: A Japanese establishment with a large library of manga, computers with internet, and private booths. It’s a low-budget option for reading, relaxing, or even overnight stays.

  • What to expect: You'll find these cafes near train stations, often with various names like "Internet Cafe," "Manga Kissa," or "Media Cafe." You may be asked to register for a membership card. Most cafes have unlimited soft drinks, DVDs, and PCs. Some even offer VR, game consoles, and karaoke for rent.

3. Experience an Onsen (Hot Spring Bath)

Onsens are a deeply ingrained part of Japanese culture, used for relaxation, wellness, and socialising. A natural hot spring bath where the water is heated by geothermal activity and is rich in minerals.

  • What to expect: Most onsens have gender-separated bathing areas. Nudity is standard, and you must wash thoroughly before entering the bath. The water can be very hot, so start slowly. While indoor baths are common, outdoor baths (rotenburo) let you soak surrounded by nature. Many onsens also provide yukata robes and offer private baths.

  • Additional Tips: Some onsens do not allow tattoos, though private baths or tattoo-friendly options are becoming more common. Remember, onsens are meant for calm and rejuvenation, so avoid loud talking or splashing.


💡 Top Tip: If you want to experience Japanese culture without travelling to Japan, TokyoTreat sends monthly boxes with some of the most iconic and unique Japanese snacks. The best part is that every month features different treats. Click here to get your box! Use the code CARMA to get $5 off your first purchase.


4. Join a Samurai or Ninja Experience

Join a hands-on experience and train with sword masters or learn stealth techniques. Some experiences even include wearing traditional armour or kimonos. It's a mix of fun and cultural history you can only do in Japan.

Powered by GetYourGuide

5. Witness Sumo Wrestling

Sumo wrestling is Japan's national sport with a history spanning over 1,500 years. Matches are short but intense and filled with fascinating rituals.

  • What to expect: Before each match, wrestlers perform ceremonial salt throwing, stomping, and hand clapping. Major tournaments are held six times a year in cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Watching sumo gives you incredible insight into the discipline, hierarchy, and rituals central to Japanese culture.

  • Book your sumo tournament tickets in Tokyo here! ⬇️

6. Try a Japanese Food Tour by Night

Go beyond konbinis and explore izakayas (pubs) and street-food alleys at night. A guided tour is the best way to find hidden bars and local spots you might not discover on your own.

Powered by GetYourGuide

7. Learn Japanese Calligraphy

Join a hands-on workshop to learn Japanese calligraphy (Shodō). It's a traditional art form that is both creative and meditative.

  • What to expect: An instructor will demonstrate proper brush techniques and stroke order. You’ll use a brush, ink, and special paper to create characters. The process is relaxing and meditative, and you can often keep your finished work as a souvenir.

Powered by GetYourGuide

8. Participate in a Traditional Tea Ceremony

The Japanese tea ceremony (Chanoyu or Sado) is a traditional ritual for preparing and serving matcha. It’s a highly choreographed practice that emphasises harmony, respect, purity, and tranquillity.

  • What to expect: A host will guide you through the ceremony. Participants follow specific movements and etiquette, and a small sweet is usually served before the tea to balance its bitterness. It’s a calming, reflective break from sightseeing.

Powered by GetYourGuide

9. Stay Overnight in a Ryokan

Experience the charm of "old Japan" by staying in a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn. Many ryokans include beautiful gardens, onsen baths, and even multi-course meals.

10. Mario Kart / Go-Karting Through Tokyo

Get your adrenaline fix with a real-life go-karting experience on the streets of Tokyo. You can often dress up as your favourite characters and drive past famous landmarks.

  • What to expect: You'll need a valid international driver’s license. A guide will lead you on a pre-planned route through the city. Helmets are provided, and tours typically last 1-2 hours.

Powered by GetYourGuide

11. Explore a Japanese Vending Machine Wonderland

Vending machines in Japan sell much more than just drinks. You can find everything from hot meals and cakes to unique toys and cultural goods. It’s a quirky and iconic part of Japanese culture.


💡 We did a YouTube video where we discovered super quirky vending machines in Tokyo. The locations are in the video!


12. Collect Landmarks, Temple & Shrine Stamps (Goshuin)

At landmarks, shrines and temples across Japan, you can collect beautifully hand-drawn calligraphy stamps in a goshuin-cho (stamp book). Each stamp is unique, and the temples/ shrine ones are usually signed by monks or priests, and become a personal travel diary and a sacred souvenir. 

13. Sleep in a Temple (Shukubo)

For a truly unique experience, stay overnight in a Buddhist temple. A shukubo is a temple lodging where you can experience traditional Japanese culture and temple life firsthand.

Bonus Experience: Discover Tokyo's Unique Car Culture

Beyond the iconic go-kart tours, Tokyo offers a chance to immerse yourself in its legendary car culture. This unique experience lets you see some of the city's most specialised vehicles, from iconic JDM cars to rare imports, as you navigate the famous streets from Shibuya Crossing to Rainbow Bridge. Some of the tours also allow you to join the famous (and secret) car meet-ups.

  • What it is: A guided tour focused on discovering Tokyo's vibrant and diverse car scene.

  • What to expect: You'll ride in a unique vehicle, following a pre-planned route through some of the city’s most famous districts and landmarks. It’s an unforgettable way to experience Tokyo's modern landscape and car culture all at once.

7 Mistakes to Avoid at Universal Studios Japan

Avoid our 7 mistakes at Universal Studios Japan, from missing Super Nintendo World to skipping Express Passes. Learn what went wrong so you don’t repeat them.

Share:
Universal studios japan entry label super nintendo world

In May 2025, we visited Universal Studios Japan (USJ), one of the top theme parks in the country. But our day didn’t quite go as planned. That’s why we’re sharing the 7 mistakes we made (and what to do instead), so you can avoid them and have the best time possible at USJ.

1. How to enter Super Nintendo World at USJ

Universal studios logo japan

This is our biggest mistake and the one we HUGELY regret. No amount of research prepared us for this fail.

We arrived at USJ around 15 minutes before their opening time, and as we finished queueing up and entering the park, we went straight to the Super Nintendo World. As you arrive to this ‘world’, you will find QR codes and members of staff helping guests join a virtual raffle to enter the Super Nintendo World. As we didn’t purchase tickets, we had to enter this giveaway, and after 1 hour waiting for the results… our hearts were broken! It was also too late to purchase entry tickets (as they had sold out).

So, how can you make sure this doesn’t happen to you? There are two ways:

Entering Super Nintendo World for free

USJ’s official opening time is usually between 8 and 9 am, but here’s the secret: the park often opens earlier than that. If you arrive around 6 am, you’ll be among the first inside, and if you head straight to Super Nintendo World, you can walk in for free without needing a timed-entry ticket.

The reason we had to join the virtual lottery was that by the time we tried to enter, the area was already at capacity, and only guests with pre-purchased tickets were permitted entry.

This early-arrival method works best if you don’t mind waking up extra early and want to save money by skipping the timed-entry ticket.


💡 Don’t fancy waking up at 5 am just to get into USJ? The smartest move is to stay in a hotel right outside the park. You’ll roll out of bed, skip the stress, and head straight in. 👉 Check out our blog to the best hotels near USJ to find the perfect place to stay.


Purchasing a timed-entry ticket

This method is as simple as it sounds. For $103.58, you can purchase a day ticket with timed-entry to Super Nintendo World. We recommend the bundle in the image below.

This ticket does not require pick-up

2. Is USJ Express Pass worth it?

Well… DEFINITELY! Based on our experience, only visit USJ if you purchase the Express Pass.

Here’s why: We arrived at 8:30 am and we only managed to enjoy 4 rides (one of them was also a cinema show) without the Express Pass. On average, each ride had a queue of +2 hours. Add to this the time it takes to walk to each ride, plus some breaks to eat, drink, appreciate the decoration, etc.

We were hugely disappointed, since USJ was at the top of our “Japan Wish List”, and not purchasing an Express Pass meant we spent more time waiting rather than enjoying.

Where is the best place to buy the USJ Express Pass?

Navigating the ticketing process for USJ can be a bit confusing, but don't worry, we’re here to help. If you have any questions after reading, please feel free to ask in the comments section below!

USJ official website express ticket price

Screenshot from the USJ website. ¥25,800 = $174.72

While many people assume the official USJ website offers the best prices, that's not always the case. The best deals can often be found on platforms like Trip.com. However, Trip.com's bundles can be unclear, so this is the method we recommend to find the best Express Pass for you.

  • Step 1: In one browser window, open the official USJ website. This is where you can see the official names for each Express Pass and all the rides included in that specific pass. (Important: Express Passes allow you to skip the queue once for each designated ride.)

  • Step 2: In a separate window, open Trip.com. You'll find the same Express Pass names as on the official site, but Trip.com doesn't always show which rides are included, which is what makes the process confusing without the official site as a reference.

Same bundle for $14 less on Trip.com

3. Which are the best rides at USJ?

Rides are always personal preferences, but at USJ, three rides really caught our attention (and the attention of thousands of people that same day). Why is this important, though? These rides will likely have the longest queues, potentially reaching a 3 h 30 min wait.

  • The Flying Dinosaur

  • Hollywood Dream - The Ride

  • Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

As you can imagine, we only managed to test one, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. We wanted to try The Flying Dinosaur, but the queue was 3 h 30 min… We highly suggest that if you really like adrenaline-based rides, you purchase an Express Pass ticket that includes these rides.

By the way, this is not a hateful blog towards USJ. We completely understand the things that we did wrong, and that’s why we are sharing them with you, so that you can have the best time ever. Who knew you needed a plan for a theme park? ahaha

Jaws ride at USJ Japan

4. Take waterproof clothing

Very self-explanatory… The best thing to take is a poncho, because you can easily store it and it won’t bother you much. When would you use it? This was Max’s question. During our time at USJ it unfortunately rained, so the poncho came in handy, but there’s also a water ride called Jurassic Park: The Ride, where you are meant to get soaked. It’s one of those boats that rapidly crashes into the water, creating a huge splash.

Don’t worry if you can’t take your own poncho; they sell ponchos in the “Jurassic Park” for ¥500 ($3.39).

5. Use the USJ app

USJ has a fantastic official app called Universal Studios Japan. We used its interactive map and features to check real-time wait times for rides, find places to eat, and read ride descriptions.

It’s a very practical method to plan the next ride and optimise your time at USJ.

6. Disappointing rides at USJ

despicable me ride minions at usj

Despicable Me queue

Imagine this: you arrive at USJ and you start seeing your childhood cartoons… Exciting right? This was us when we saw the “Minions world”. The best part is that there’s a ride called Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem. There was a 2 h 15 min queue, but of course, it’s one of our favourite cartoons, so waiting this long was nothing for us.

Once we entered the ride, we sat down on a cart with 6 seats, we held tight, and we were excitedly waiting until the ride commenced… Well, this is where the biggest disappointment of the day came. This ride happened to be static, meaning that there is a really big dome-like screen, and the cart moves on the spot to give you that sense of motion, but in reality, it is just tilting slightly. This, of course, was our fault, because we didn’t do research before attending the theme park; however, after such a long wait and feeling like I was going to pass out from motion sickness, our experience at this ride was not great.

It was really funny because as soon as the ride started, there was a kid behind us who told his dad: “Oh Dad, it’s just a screen”.

Anyway, of course, this is just our experience, and for you it may not be the same, but unfortunately, this ride was not for us. Having said this, make sure you read and see videos about rides before attending the theme park, so that you don’t get any surprises.

7. Bonus tip
