Itinerary
A honeymoon paced for two, not for a checklist. A ryokan splurge in the Hakone hills, slow days in Kyoto, and a long warm finish on the Okinawa coast. Fewer cities, more lingering, and the trip ends on a beach rather than a packed train.
A ryokan splurge in the hills, slow Kyoto, then the warm water of Okinawa to finish.

The world's largest city and Japan's beating heart - an overwhelming, endlessly layered metropolis where every kind of Japan coexists.
A volcanic mountain resort within sight of Mt. Fuji, with excellent onsen, an open-air museum, and a famous ropeway.
Japan's ancient capital - 1,200 years of temples, gardens, geisha districts, and craft traditions in a city that still feels imperial.
Japan's food capital and most exuberant city - a working-class energy that takes eating very seriously.
Okinawa's subtropical capital - base for the Ryukyu Kingdom heritage, Kokusaidori shopping street, and the island's unique cuisine.

Greatest hits, no padding, mostly trains.
Tokyo, then Hakone for one quiet night, then Kyoto and Osaka.
Slow enough to feel it, full enough to remember it.
Maple leaves, temple gardens, longer evenings.
