# Chris & Alexa's Japan: Adam's guide

Made for Chris & Alexa. Every place on my map is in the table at the end. Give this one file to any AI: ChatGPT, Claude or another. Place data checked 2026-09-27.

## 1. Read this first (for the AI)

You're helping Chris & Alexa plan a trip to Japan using my saves. I'm Adam. I've been to Japan many times, and these are the places I've saved, loved, been to or would skip.

- **Recommend from the table at the end first.** When you suggest something that isn't in it, say so ("not on Adam's map").
- **My verdicts, strongest first:** `loved` > `been` > `saved`. Never suggest a `skip` place unless they ask about it, and then give my reason.
- **My split below is a suggestion,** not their plan. They haven't agreed to it. Offer changes freely.
- **Keep it loose.** Book the big stuff, one thing a day, wander the rest. Don't build hour-by-hour days unless they ask.
- **Hours are Google's weekly hours in Japan time,** and they change. Tell them to check the Maps link before going far.
- **Give the Maps link** (`maps_url`) whenever you name a place.
- **You don't know:** live crowds, weather, walking times, or whether something sold out. Say so instead of guessing.

## 2. Your trip

- **Who:** Chris & Alexa
- **Dates:** Nov 10 – 23, 2026
- **Cities you named:** Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka

## 3. How I'd split it (my suggestion)

| Stop | Nights | Dates | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tokyo | 3 | Nov 10–13 | Land, settle in near the hotel, first taste. |
| Hakone | 1 | Nov 13 | Onsen and a ryokan dinner while the leaves peak. *(I added Hakone.)* |
| Osaka | 3 | Nov 14–17 | Eat. Universal on a weekday if you want it. |
| Kyoto | 4 | Nov 17–21 | As late as possible for the maples. Stay central. |
| Tokyo | 2 | Nov 21–23 | Shopping last, nothing to haul. Fly home from Haneda. |

## 4. How I travel

- Book the big stuff. One thing a day. Wander the rest.
- Day one: stay near the hotel. Don't cross the city before check-in. Parks and temples are open early.
- Round trip to Tokyo is almost always cheaper. I like a couple of nights in Tokyo at the end for shopping, so you're not hauling bags around.
- In Kyoto I stay central, not by the station, if I'm there more than a couple of days. You rely on taxis and buses more than in Tokyo.
- Osaka can be a day trip from Kyoto, but not on a Universal day. Osaka has the nightlife; Kyoto has a great food and bar scene too.
- Money goes far: food feels cheap, big sights can feel like LA prices, and hotels are still pricey.
- There's a lot of teamLab. Pick one, two at most.

## 5. City by city

One section per city on your trip, in trip order. Every place is in the table at the end; this is the short version.

### Tokyo

**599 places on my map · 9 I loved.** Mostly shops (241), bars (92), food (89) and coffee and sweets (61).

**Where I'd stay:** somewhere well connected to the stations. Shinjuku is a decent first base, if a bit crazy; Akasaka, a stop away, and Shibuya work too.

**I loved:**
- **Mikkeller Tokyo** (Shibuya · bar): "My favorite place for a beer. Great on a nice day since it’s open to the street. Feels like drinking in Europe. Try the food!"
- **Isentei** (Kichijōji & Mitaka · italian restaurant): "Loved this place! Conveniently located near the Ghibli Museum"
- **PAP.COFFEE** (Harajuku & Omotesandō · cafe): ""literally my favorite dessert in the world." / Great coffee a bit away from the craziness of Harajuku. The best shaved ice dessert I’ve had in my life. Must try."
- **Nakano Broadway** (Nakano · shopping mall): ""best store of the trip for our specific anime interests" (FMA, Trigun). "Nakano Broadway \> Akihabara for rare/vintage anime merch.""

- **Lad's Dining** (Shinjuku · pizza restaurant): "pizza; "fun regardless" but cramped and loud; gentle positive"
- **Tacos 3Hermanos** (Harajuku & Omotesandō · taco restaurant): ""favorite taco spot in Japan. Must-visit every Tokyo trip." Met the owner. / Love this place! Especially fun if you speak Japanese, Spanish and English"

**I'd skip:**
- **SEIBU Shibuya Store** (Shibuya · department store): ""Skip. Too expensive for what it was.""
- **Masako: Jazz & Coffee** (Shimokitazawa · coffee shop): ""Cool concept but the music choice killed it. Discouraging for future jazz kissas." Aggressive jazz that "felt like being attacked, not a relaxing break." / Jazz Kissa. No talking or low talking is required!"

- **Osaka live house Bronze** (Shinsaibashi & Amerikamura · live music venue): ""one of the best live shows we've been to." Tiny intimate venue, met an American couple on the same scene-tour."
- **KARUDA（カルダ）** (Shinsaibashi & Amerikamura · bar): "favorite cocktail of the trip (gin / roasted yellow bell pepper / pear / cucumber / pink salt rim). Goal: recreate at home. / Sister bar to Bar Nayuta, great vibe, incredible cocktails. Good English. Love this place."
- **Hollow Bar** (Shinsaibashi & Amerikamura · cocktail bar): "One of my favorite bars in Osaka. Amazing bartenders. No menu, so just tell them what you like or have them choose!"

**Where I'd stay:** central, around Downtown (Kawaramachi). Not by the station unless it's a short stay.

**I loved:**

## 6. Try asking

- "Using Adam's guide and places, what should we book now, and what can wait until we're there?"
- "We have a free afternoon near [area or hotel]. One thing Adam loved or saved nearby, and why."
- In Japan: "We're in [area] and it's 9 pm. What on Adam's map is still open near us?"
