Don’t underestimate how much you’ll walk - I’m EXHAUSTED

I organised a pretty packed schedule for our 11 day Japan trip. 2 N Kyoto, 3 N Osaka, 5 N Tokyo and 1 day trip to Nara.

We have been doing 20k steps every day and we’re both exhausted after 6 days. We’re 30yo and in normal shape, and I read everywhere to avoid filing days with too much or activities every moment of the day.

And I didn’t listen. So now we’re going to take it easy in Tokyo. If you’re planning your trip, believe me, TAKE IT SLOW.

EDIT: I’m not American (proudly, based on some comments here from Americans). And I only posted this to help future travelers, not to complain. I’m still doing 20K but not 30k anymore. But once again, Reddit can be toxic and it is full of people who judge everyone behind their phones. Nevertheless, thanks for the nice people who left nice words and advice for future travelers (and even myself), you’re appreciated 🦋
