First Japan Trip (Late July) – Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo + Kamakura – Is this itinerary feasible?

Hi everyone!

My friend and I are planning our first trip to Japan from 24 July to 1 August, and would love some feedback on our itinerary.

Current plan:

- ✈️ Land in Osaka

- 🏙️ Osaka – ~1.5 days

- ⛩️ Kyoto – 2 days

- 🗼 Tokyo – remaining time (with a day trip to Kamakura)

We’re trying to balance seeing the major highlights without rushing too much. Does this split sound feasible, or are we underestimating travel time / fatigue?

Also, since we’ll be visiting in late July (peak summer):

- Are there any must-do seasonal experiences, festivals, or places we should prioritize?

- Anything we should avoid due to heat/crowds?

- Any tips for dealing with the humidity and weather?

We’re open to tweaking the plan if something feels too rushed or if we’re missing something special.

Thanks in advance
