*POST UPDATED OCTOBER 2026.
Hello, lovely people! Hi! I’m here this fine Spring day to share my latest travel guide with you: Two Weeks in Japan | Our Honeymoon Itinerary! In January of this year, two months after getting married, Husband and I set out for a country on essentially the other side of the world: Japan. Neither of us had ever been to Asia before, and what we discovered there was beyond anything we had ever dreamed of; it was amazing! Without a doubt, it was the best trip we’ve ever been on — so much so, we’ve started to worry that nowhere else will live up to it! The people, the cities, the shrines, the temples, the food! We loved every second of our time there, but before I can begin to get into all that, I figured I’d start with the basics: our itinerary.
Including flights and travel time, our trip lasted a blissful 14-days. During said 14-days, we explored three major Japanese cities: Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. You might be thinking that we could’ve squeezed in another one or two cities while we were there, and you might be right. However! Rather than fussing over day trips here or there etc., we settled deeper into the cities we were already in, acting like locals, and adopting more of a ‘slow travel’ mentality. If I may be so biased, I really think that this slower route across Japan is ideal for other first-timers or honeymooners out there – we never felt rushed or like we were trying to cram too much in etc. Because really, who wants to feel rushed and stressed on their honeymoon?
A full breakdown of our itinerary can be found below, crammed, as usual, with every tidbit of information I felt might help you on your way. Enjoy, friends!
