Soak First, Sightsee Second

7 days: Tokyo → Hakone → Kyoto. Every stop below is backed by 6 roundups of Japanese comment-section consensus — including which famous stops locals tell you to skip, and where they go instead.

Every route is assembled from our own translated roundups of Japanese YouTube comment sections — nothing here is invented. Opening hours and prices change, so we link out to maps and to the original videos instead of stating them.
