Japan Travel
- First trip in February
We are planning our first trip to Japan in this upcoming february after a long postponing due to covid. Would love some tips from others here! We have dates but no specific ideas while there yet. More specific questions:
Recommended budget per day based on general costs of food and lodging there?
Recommendations for places to go while generally trying to avoid touristy locales?
Train for getting around while there or is there a better option?
How important to study basic Japanese?
Thanks!

I'm always happy to see people showing off other destinations in Kyoto's beautiful Arashiyama region aside from the bamboo forest and monkey park. My personal recommendations are Jojakko-ji Temple and Aightowa Cafe, a short walk down the forested road.
