Top 60 things to do in Japan | Ultimate travel guide for first-timers

Last year my partner Grace and I visited Japan for the first time - travelling to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Uji, and Nara. So, we thought we’d round up our top 60 things - mostly things we saw and things we ate - and share them with you. We hope this helps other first-time travellers plan their visit to Japan.
