Japan Trip Update: 3-day before flying (preparation)

So far forums on "whether to go or not to go on a trip to Japan" - is leaning to "Go and visit" - so armed with caution and excitement we decided to GO! 

As of press time Cherry Blossom are spotted all around Japan, and for sure in a couple of days we will experience it as well.....we are brining with us some blue tarp to sit on while eating bento box under the Cherry Trees....That is the plan :) Hope it pushes thru!

We are utilizing the most out of our JR Pass. The plan is Osaka-Hiroshima-Miyajima-"Tokyo-Kamakura"-Kyoto-Kobe-Osaka....and maybe some more short side trips in between.




JR Pass (note: it cannot be purchased in Japan)

Tickets and Hotel Booking, ok.. But I don't know where Zarah placed them.
Itinerary on hand, check.  Books on Interesting Sights, check. Maps and other information... Check.. Pocket Money???

Source of Information

Clothes, Jackets, umbrellas, medicine, basic necessities,  etc, Check...

We are checking in (2) luggages, but a total of 4 ... a luggage within a luggage....
 Now, the challenge here is to carry all four of them on our way back from an 11 day trip..




a luggage within a luggage....

 Now, just waiting for Friday to come, finishing some errands at work and off we go to the "Land Of The Rising Sun".... Kampai!!!
