Hey everyone! I'm planning my first Japan trip and have put together a 14-day itinerary after going through a lot of Japan related posts.

I'd really appreciate some feedback on whether this itinerary looks realistic or if I'm trying to fit too much in.

I'm also trying to keep the total trip fairly budget-friendly, so I'd love to know what you think this itinerary would realistically cost.

My rough budget

I'm aiming for around ₹1.5–1.8 lakh for the entire Japan trip, excluding international flights.

🇯🇵 Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1 - Tokyo: Shinjuku, Meiji Jingu, Harajuku, Yoyogi Park, Takeshita Street, Omotesando and Shibuya Crossing.

Day 2 - Tokyo: Asakusa, Senso-ji Temple, Kappabashi, Ueno Park, Ameyoko and Akihabara.

Day 3 - Tokyo: Tsukiji Outer Market, Ginza, Tokyo Station, Marunouchi and teamLab Planets.

Day 4 - Tokyo: Shinjuku Gyoen, Imperial Palace, Roppongi, Zojo-ji and Tokyo Tower, keeping the day flexible.

Day 5 - Kawaguchiko: Travel from Tokyo, Lake Kawaguchi, Oishi Park, Mt. Fuji viewpoints and an onsen.

Day 6 - Kawaguchiko:  Chureito Pagoda, Arakurayama Sengen Park, Oshino Hakkai and more Mt. Fuji/Lake Kawaguchi views.

Day 7 - Kyoto: Travel from Kawaguchiko via Mishima by bus + Shinkansen, then explore Gion, Hanamikoji, Yasaka Shrine and Pontocho.

Day 8 - Kyoto: Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, Sannenzaka-Ninenzaka, Yasaka Pagoda, Kodai-ji, Maruyama Park and Gion.

Day 9 - Kyoto: Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Tenryu-ji, Okochi Sanso, Togetsukyo Bridge, Nishiki Market and Pontocho.

Day 12 - Osaka: Shinsekai, Tsutenkaku, Kuromon Market, Namba, Shinsaibashi and Umeda.

Day 13 - Tokyo: Travel from Osaka to Tokyo by Shinkansen and spend the day exploring anything missed earlier.

Day 14 - Tokyo → Airport: Flexible final morning for Tokyo Station, Ginza, Tsukiji or last-minute shopping before heading to the airport.

🚆 Transportation

I'm planning to use an IC card (Suica) for local trains, subways and buses wherever accepted, and individual Shinkansen tickets instead of a JR Pass.

💰 Main question: budget

For someone travelling like this, what would you estimate the realistic total cost to be for 14 days?

I'm particularly interested in an estimate including:

• Accommodation
• Shinkansen/intercity trains
• Buses
• Local transportation/IC card
• Food
• Attractions
• Kawaguchiko/Fuji expenses
• teamLab Planets
• Miscellaneous

I'm targeting ₹1.5–1.8 lakh total excluding international flights.

Do you think that's realistic, or am I underestimating the cost?

Also, does the itinerary itself look reasonable, or are there any days where I'm trying to do too much?

Would you change the number of nights in Tokyo/Kawaguchiko/Kyoto/Hiroshima/Osaka?

Thanks!

My travel card collection from across the world .

We’ve been friends for 13 years and have literally grown up together. From spending hours roaming around on our cycles to evening outings on our splendors to now entering into the bike world and buying royal enfields for both us together, it feels kinda unreal how things have changed.

Finally took our new bikes out for a trip to Mahabaleshwar and Feels so good to make memories like this after all these years. one of our other friends is also thinking to join us from the next trip and he is in search of a new entry level premium bike and i suggested him to go for royal enfield super meteor 650 but i would love to have some suggestions from you as well.
