Exquisite Escapes: Unveiling Japan's Treasures - Tokyo, Kyoto, and Beyond

This itinerary was for the first time I ever visited Japan, but have been back since, absolutely loving everything about this culture and country. We had only just under a fortnight for this trip, so we had a mix of cities with Tokyo and Kyoto (modern and traditional) then some relaxing beach/resort time on the island of Mijakojima in the south.
