Where to stay in Tokyo? Close to a major train station would be our priority- Have read about either Shinjuku or Shibuya. Please help me get going with our trip planning:ġ. So far the only day trip from Kyoto we have decided on is to Nara for the deer park. I'm trying to keep the itinerary simple- staying in Tokyo and Kyoto (5 days each?) and doing a few day trips from each base. We don't speak any Japanese and that is making me nervous. We are planning on spring break 2020 between 15th and 28th. My daughter's graduating from high school next year and has asked for a mother-daughter trip to Japan.
