What we missed in the Japan trip

I prepared a detailed plan for the visit. However, we did not accomplish everything in the plan mainly due to the hot weather. Dorit and Shirley could not tolerate the hot weather for the entire day. Here are the major attractions that we missed in the trip:

In and around Tokyo:

• Kabuki play at Kabukiza Theatre
• Sensoji temple and shop for souvenirs along Nakamise Dori.
• Visit Tokyo National Museum.
• Visit the Edo-Tokyo Museum
• Stroll through Akihabara (electronics shops).
• Day trip to Yokohama:
  • Visit the Landmark Tower, which is the tallest building in Japan.
  • Visit the Sankeien Garden.
  • Eat in Chinatown.
  • Visit the Raman museum.
• Hot spring bath at Odedo-Onsen Monogatari or Azabu-Juban onsen (maybe go to a public bath in Osaka instead).
• Hakone open-air museum.

In and around Kyoto:

• Jizo-In temple near Saiho-ji (moss temple).
• Ginkakuji, the temple of the silver pavilion.
• drink tea along the philosopher's pathway.
• Heian Shrine and Shinen garden.
• Kiyomizu Temple.
• Bamboo grove.
• Taking a boat ride with fishermen. Cormorant fishing at night (optional).
• Eat a Kaiseki meal.

In and around Osaka:

• Osaka castle

What I would like to do in my next visit to Japan:

• Learn flower arrangements.
• Visit an automated car factory.
• Visit National parks (in the northern part of Japan).
• Attend a festival.
• Stay a night in a Ryokan (traditional inn).
