Post Body

Hey all, I'm gonna be headed to Japan From 4th Oct - 12th. For the most part I'll be alone save for 7th-8th, I'll be listing my planned activities at this point of time.

October 4th

  • Arrival in Tokyo
  • Matsuya Ginza (Tenki no Ko exhibition)
  • Check into capsule hotel, head down to Akihabara for dinner/general shopping

October 5th

  • Skydiving in Tochigi prefecture (Assuming clear weather, this will take up the whole morning)
  • Mori Art Museum/City View at Roppongi
  • Teamlab Planets at Toyosu

October 6th

  • 2D Cafe Shin Okubo
  • Afternoon thru evening at Enoshima (anime pilgrimage)

October 7th

  • NA (Outing with a few people)

October 8th

  • Morning NA (Outing with a few people)
  • Late afternoon shinkansen to Okayama and check into capsule hotel

October 9th

  • Ikura Cave (Early morning activity)
  • Move up to Yonago/Tottori, noon hike at Mt. Daisen
  • Evening Misasa Ryokan

October 10th

  • Nageiredo Temple/Mitokusan **
  • Afternoon at Uradome Coast for kayaking (tentative, I have not booked this)
  • Trekking at Sekigane and then head back to Misasa

October 11th

  • Ashizu Valley (Early morning activity)
  • Move to Osaka via Super Hakuto
  • Harukas 300/Dontonbori/Check in hostel

October 12th

  • Morning at Kyoto, only plan to visit the site of the Kyoto animation arson attack and pay my respects to the fallen ones. (Might squeeze in Kyoto Tower if I wake up early. Tentative)
  • Late morning shinkansen back to Tokyo and prepare for return trip

Notes:

  1. ** For any Tottori-versed people, your help is greatly appreciated. I understand that you cannot hike Mitoku alone, so the only option would be to wait for more people to come (Which I won't know the frequency), or get the temple's monk's son to do a tour. What I'm looking for is more information on the tour and I have messaged their facebooks and official site with no general answer(yet). If anyone has information about this I would greatly appreciate it.
  2. I will only be using suica for general transportation. Tokyo -> Okayama and Kyoto -> Tokyo will be via shinkansen. I'm getting an error in attempting to book the super hakuto on JR West website at this point in time so if I still can't purchase I would need to purchase the ticket directly at Okayama/Yonago when I reach the respective station. Also might consider the bus pass in Tottori. I have not booked Kyoto -> Tokyo yet as I'm using smartEX app to reserve the early seat (window not open yet iirc). EDIT: I've decided to get the JR Ordinary Pass since it'll serve me some general use if I wana take Narita express to the airport. My local website is also offering a voucher so I'm planning to use that voucher to buy the Tokyo Metro/Subway pass and use it for the first few days before Okayama. I'll just pay for any difference if I jump onto a private line(Enoshima, Chizu lines)
  3. I would like to ask if anyone has information about luggage storage services available at Tokyo station (I'm asking this as a backup option, I'm aware that there are lockers at Tokyo station). The general plan is to leave my luggage behind when I move to Okayama etc. and then reclaim the luggage before I depart. I do not plan to purchase much tangible goods outside Tokyo. (Rail Go for luggage service)
  4. If you have any light activity recommendation for Okayama evening (visit park) feel free to do so. General expectation is that it's walking distance from Okayama station.
  5. Budget is generally okay outside of skydiving.

** Is the only urgent issue that's making me paranoid, other than that I appreciate any feedback you might have. Thanks
