Looking to plan an unforgettable vacation to Japan, BUT no idea where to start? We’ve got you, in this EASY 10 day Japan itinerary for FIRST TIME Travellers!
Now, let’s get on with it, and embark on this unforgettable itinerary of Japan’s most beloved and VISITED destinations!
It’s the perfect mix of old and new, city sites and cultural charm. From the fast-paced energy of Tokyo to the foodie heaven and neon lights of Osaka. And the timeless beauty of Kyoto’s temples and traditional streets, you’ll get a true taste of what makes Japan so unforgettable.
Every person who visits Japan, CAN NOT go without visiting the countries capital, Tokyo!
Tokyo is one of the most fascinating cities. Rich in culture and tradition yet feels lightyears ahead in time, so…..welcome to Tokyo!
Firstly, It is essential you get a Suica or Pasmo Card. Suica / Pasom Cards are an IC transport card. You can top up them up and tap on and off Trains and Buses. They also work at convenience stores and some retail shops.
They allow you to easily move around Japan, without having to line up to get tickets. AND without having to constantly work out your train fare and the dealing with the ticketing machines.
We recently travelled for 3 days in Tokyo and overall saved ourselves ALOT of money by getting this pass. (NOTE: It does not work on JR lines, however you will likely only catch a few of these and you can use your Suica Card)
Tokyo is a HUGE city, and travelling by train from one side to the other can take up to an hour. Because of this, it is a great idea to cluster your sightseeing to areas that surround each other to make the most of each and every day.
Grab tickets in advance, as they do sell out, and use our code TRAVELLIVNKLOOK for up to 10% off site wide on Klook: Disneyland or DisneySea
8. Meiji Shrine (Harajuku) – Wander through peaceful forested grounds and witness traditional Shinto rituals, while there make sure you visit Harajuku Takeshita Street to experience Tokyo’s best shopping, fashion, and street food.
9. Akihabara Electric Town – Dive into anime, manga, video games, and visit on a Sunday afternoon to experience the street closed to pedestrians.
10. Experience a themed cafés – Try a quirky dining experience like maid cafés or animal cafés.
Kyoto is the second stop on this 10 day Japan itinerary for first time travelers and I suggest you stay here for a minimum of 3 nights / days if not longer!
The easiest and most convenient way to get to Kyoto or Osaka from Tokyo is by Shinkansen (Bullet Train): There are several trains departing every hour. The journey takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. You can purchase tickets at the ticket counters or ticket machines at the station, or you can reserve tickets online in advance.
Amanohashidate is a natural stone bridge connecting the mainland and the island and is one considered one of the three most scenic spots in Japan. There is a beautiful view point to see this natural wonder.
Nearby you can visit Ine Funaya, which is known as the ‘Venice of Japan’ and ‘Kyoto by the Sea’. Ine Funaya is known for its unique water buildings and natural scenery perfectly integrated.
Escape to the tranquil beauty of Arashiyama, known for its scenic bamboo grove, historic temples, and picturesque Togetsukyo Bridge. Visit Tenryu-ji Temple, stroll through the bamboo forest, and take a scenic boat ride along the Hozu River.
The third stop in this 10 day Japan itinerary for first time travelers is Osaka. I recommend you stay in Osaka for a minimum of 2 nights / days. (An extra add on could be Hiroshima)
When it comes to choosing the best area to stay, in Osaka, one neighborhood stands out is Namba! Namba is a blend of modern convenience and traditional charm. Located in the heart of Osaka’s bustling downtown district, Namba offers an eclectic mix of attractions. From the vibrant shopping streets, and thrifting stores, to the electrifying nightlife, historic temples or mouthwatering street food. Visitors will love the labyrinth of alleys of Dotonbori, and the neon signs that illuminate the city.
Finally, it is also a great location for transportation. It is a central hub that connects to the rest of the city and beyond. Namba serves as the perfect base for exploring all that Osaka has to offer, making it an ideal choice for travelers.
Famous for its succulent Kobe beef and breathtaking views from Mount Rokko. My personal favourite: Take a self-walking Sake Tour of local Sake breweries of Naha.
While a bit further away, Hiroshima and the nearby island of Miyajima are accessible as day trips from Osaka via shinkansen (bullet train). You can explore the Peace Memorial Park and Museum in Hiroshima, then visit the iconic Itsukushima Shrine and its floating torii gate on Miyajima Island.
MUST DO: Embark on a spiritual train journey UP Mount Koya by an epic TRAMWAY carriage. Mount Koya is a sacred mountain and center of Shingon Buddhism with over 100 temples. Visit Okunoin Cemetery, where thousands of tombstones and ancient cedar trees create a mystical atmosphere.
Explore the attractions of Osaka’s Bay Area, including Universal Studios Japan, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, and Tempozan Harbor Village. Ride the Tempozan Ferris Wheel for panoramic views of Osaka Bay and beyond.
