Hi Selin, highly recommend Shibuya 109 or Shibuya Parco for fashion and they have some delicious restaurants nearby. Other places in Tokyo I would check out is Shimokitazawa for vintage clothing shopping, and Nakano broadway for cheaper anime and souvenir goods (cheaper than Akihabara). For cheaper skincare and body care goods, Loft, Plaza, @cosme in Harajuku is great for woman. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

@David Marsh yo David nice to meet you! definitely have a lot of fun and interesting things to learn about Japan before you go. Any places in particular you interested in seeing? Happy to offer some advice and fun facts 😇

@Muniru Abdul Rahman nice how long you been living in Japan and what's your favourite place to see?

@Karina Arenas I can definitely recommend you some spots that will be comfortable and affordable for you and your partner. For Tokyo I recommend staying Asakusa, Ueno or Nerima. These places are more north of Tokyo and are away from the hustle and bustle of Shibuya and Shinjuku. Also the prices for hotels are way better here! Also download the Agoda app before you travel to Japan! Let me know if you have more questions and I’ll send you the tourist trap pdf this week! (Just finishing it up!)

@Karina Arenas Sure! The private onsens are amazing in Japan and actually there are some hotels who offer a free private onsen for couples. Personally I went to YuYu Hotel in Hakone, which had an included private onsen and only cost 10,000 Yen a night. Here's a decent hotel I found in Osaka, which is about 20,000 Yen a night (if you book this month) and gives you easy access to the centre city of Osaka (Dotonbori). The private onsen is great but it does cost an additional 4000Yen for 60minutes for 2 people which isn't too bad. Also happy to answer any further questions you have in a free 1-on-1 call with me e.g. Places you guys should visit, tourist traps to avoid and more!

@Talal Al I haven’t taken the test too personally as I’m not looking to work in Japan. btw there are some really good Japanese language school options to get a long stay visa here in Japan. Do you have a drivers license in your own country and how long would you want to stay in Japan?

@Talal Al Still two weeks in Japan is plenty for a first trip! Able to see Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and another place (e.g. Mt Fuji, or Hokkaido) mainly just depends on your budget. I also hope to see Korea in the future but right now I'm completely focused on helping Japan travellers and exploring all parts of Japan myself! Also I'm actually offering to create an itinerary completely for you (free of charge) for members of the JapanQuest community. Are you interested and do you prefer it to be done over a 1:1 call or messages?
