Birthday in Japan

My husband and I are visiting Japan for the first time this June (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Miyajima) to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary and my birthday.

I’d love to hear about your personal highlights rather than typical tourist recommendations:

• Best meal you had?
• Favorite neighborhood to wander?
• Most memorable experience?
• Most underrated attraction?
• Best bar/café/restaurant?
• A hidden gem or unexpected moment you’ll never forget?

What made you fall in love with Japan and want to come back?

Thanks! We’re incredibly excited for our first trip to Japan.
