Big plus one for Famichiki at family Mart
Is one of the poster says it’s in the front area and fried relatively fresh in store
Most stores will have buns you can buy near the checkout or back with the Japanese bread section… Another banger item to get
Many mornings when travel for work to Japan. This will be my breakfast.

Indian Rocks Beach. About 15 minutes south of Clearwater Beach and yeah, there’s restaurants on the backside of the beach but once you get into your Airbnb, it’s functionally a private beach

BV and Salida for the win. Million things to do and cool towns. 20 minutes from each other. Family and friends in both

This thread pops-up every few months. I am lucky enough to travel to Japan for work as well as a vacation couple of years ago with the family.
General theme in the thread is on-point...don't worry about a specific thing too much, just get out and explore. Best advice is pick one "thing" a day, do that, and then just start to wonder
* Fly into Hinada, both airports are fine...but save yourself the headache
* Kyoto is not a day trip, but it also depends on what you want to see and do
* Modern Japan (Tokyo and Osaka), Rural Japan (hidden gem, many options), Europe Japan (Kyoto) - yes it is crowded, more so based on your timing but there are ton of bangers there.
Get AirBnb are solid if you are traveling with full family, if not Hotels are amazing
Food -> never had a bad meal. the poster above was spot on, just pick a place, walk in, each great food. (though, do try and get out of the tourist streets)
you will have a blast. hit me up with specific questions.

Generally one thing planned in the AM, not too early that requires time/tickets/etc…
Rest of day is for wondering with no set objectives, just a basic area of town or whatever

I agree the bamboo forest is interesting but only if you’re over there
I also recommended onsen. But do you watch several videos and make sure you understand what expected you as they will not make exceptions for tourist

Fortunate enough to travel to Japan for work as well as some vacations. May is a great time to-go.
Couple of notes. Keio hotel in Shinjuku for Tokyo is solid. Nice hotel, not insane pricing, and right at the station to bounce around to anyplace in Tokyo. Don't overspend on Tokyo hotel as you won't be there but to sleep. Most other business/tourist hotels in area are fine too.
Kyoto -> get an Airbnb vs. hotel. Trust me on this one. price is likely cheaper too. Stay in the Souther Higashiyama area vs. central Kyoto. Public transportation in Kyoto is mostly buses but still works well.
Day trip to Nara and river trip with historic train are musts.
Personal presence, unless you have specific plans in Tokyo, I would spend 5 days in Kyoto vs. Tokyo.
Best part of Japan is honestly just wondering around in either town.
I am taking my parents in late October and then back again for work....I don't know a few times (hopefully) in the next year.
good news is once you pay for airfare and avoid the most obvious tourist traps Japan is pretty cheap.
Happy to answer any questions as well!

As trailers go, using the "i've actually on done this twice" is one of the better unplanned winks to the audience.
+1 to the editor on that one.

Salida has their river feast late June too. 4th of July in small mountains is always a blast

Huge plug for Buena Vista and Salida. Not sure your plans or availability of hotel/Airbnb, but both towns are incredible to spend several days in.
Summit County is fine, but really just resort towns and well there’s a lot to do. There’s really no overall vibe to it.

Maybe a little late time wise, but would recommend AirBnb. stay new Isle de Cite, also the 6th gets my votes a few blocks off the river.
Even for just two people it is a great.
