Weather flips fast, one day bright and warm, next day raining. Layers and quick-dry clothes made a huge difference for me.
Kyoto's temples at dawn feel magical, avoid midafternoon crowds. Ryokans are charming but book months ahead if you want budget options.
Grab a Suica or Pasmo at the airport, tap on trains and buses, it even works at konbini. Saves time and stops you fumbling for coins.
I loved the food, sushi every day felt worth it. Trains get packed on weekends though, plan mornings for markets and quieter strolls.
Tokyo exceeded expectations, trains are spotless and punctual, street food is unreal, but expect crowds and tiny hotel rooms.
