I realized this could be too much so I want to know your opinion. I(M27)'m travelling with two friends (M27, M27) and we are visiting Japan the first two weeks of September. I’m kinda used to time-efficient schedules but I’m not sure about them. Do you have any suggestions for the weather. Thank you for your time!
