Your Ultimate Winter Itinerary to Japan

Your Ultimate Winter Itinerary to Japan

Jan 26, 2025

Every traveler has their own unique budget, shaped by personality and tastes. Whether you're all about street food, splurging on shopping, or soaking in history, your travel style makes all the difference!

Of course, some destinations might not be on your list, but Japan? Everything is a must-see! I’m here to share the “big idea” for planning your own trip to Japan, based on my 9-day adventure exploring its diverse locations.

Ready to take a peek at my journey? Let’s dive in!

Day 1 - KIX Airport

Before starting my trip, I rented a WiFi router on Traveloka for my 9-day adventure. Super handy!

I arrived at Kansai International Airport in Osaka around 9 PM, and here’s a tip: if you want smooth and easy transactions for trains, buses, or even grabbing snacks at the convenience store, be sure to get an ICOCA card. It’s like a prepaid e-money card that makes everything super simple!

Japan is famous for its snacks, and you can’t resist stopping by shops or 7-11 to satisfy those cravings. So, let’s just say you’ll be topping up your ICOCA card by ¥1,000 every day!

Day 2 - Universal Studio Japan, Shinsaibashi

My first stop was Universal Studios Japan. I had heard that the wait for popular rides like Harry Potter and The Flying Dinosaur could be up to 4 hours! To save time, I decided to buy an Express Pass on Klook. It was ¥10,980 (in the middle season), but since I don't go there often, it was totally worth it.
