Discover Japan - ”Land of the Rising Sun"

Hosted by

Saket

Hey guys, Japan has been on my bucket list for a while - finally the time has come! I would love to visit the ”Land of the Rising Sun" in March 2021 for two weeks. The trip is supposed to be a mixture of sightseeing, nature, culture and relaxing. But of course - this trip is not going to be as much fun alone as it would be with some travel buddies! This is why I am searching for 1 to 3 travel buddies to join my adventure! I’ve already figured out a route and the details - but of course: in case you have any wishes we will be able to adapt the plan. After all, flexibility and individuality is king! To get from A to B in Japan I would like to buy a Japan Rail Pass. With this pass we are super flexible and I've read and heard only good things about it ;) About my travel style: Sleeping in a bunk bed and sharing a dorm with 15 other people is not my favorite, but I also don’t need a 5-star hotel - I think finding the right balance is the best option ;) Some facts about me, myself and I: I’m 28 years old, from Berlin and I already travelled a lot - that’s why I would consider myself as an experienced traveller! Would you like to join my adventure? Just leave a message - can’t wait to hear from you! Best, Saket
