Tokyo & Kyoto

Tokyo, Japan2 weeks (or 1 week – 4 weeks)

Neon nights, temple mornings and the best food on the planet.

One week in Tokyo — Shibuya, Shinjuku's tiny bars, sumo or baseball and teamLab — then the bullet train to Kyoto for temples, tea houses and Arashiyama's bamboo grove. Japan is safe, spotless and easy even if you don't speak a word of Japanese.
