Travel companion in Japan for April 2019?
14 answers
Kia ora!
I'm a kiwi gal in her mid twenties who's going to be traveling around Japan from April 1-26. I've been working in Hokkaido and am keen to explore more of the country! I have some locked in plans, and other flexible ones, but if you're down to adventure for a little bit together let me know! This is my second visit to Japan, and so far I'll be moving around Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto/Fuji/Aizu/Oshima Island, but I'm open to changes in itinerary to see more of Japan. I'm interested in everything Japanese, from old-guard histories to modern eccentricities.
My budget is generally more low-end, relying on hostels and public transit, but in the nature of adventure I'm super flexible and more than happy to splurge for lifetime experiences.

Flying from the UK to Tokyo on 20th April for 4 weeks.
First few days definitely in and around Tokyo, to get rid of jet lag!
Fuji is definitely on the list.
Budget is more than flexible - from hostels to five stars.
And adventure is the theme of life!
Do feel free to message.

Good morningâŠ
I am visiting Japan for the first time in 2019, from 15 Apr to 30 Apr. I fly into KIX, and am in Wakayama and Nara for 4 nights. In Kyoto from 20 April - 25 April, then KinosakiOnsen for 2 nights. I wrap up in Tokyo from the 27 Apr - 30 Apr. While I only speak a few words of Japanese, and finding someone who speaks a bit more would be ideal, I'd enjoy anyone simply come equipped with an inquisitive and resourceful nature. I do have an English-speaking native guide with me in Tokyo and Nara, but otherwise on my own. If our schedules coincide, and you have any interest in sharing some time and activities, please let me know.

Heya, I'll be in Japan during April and May. Definitely looking to visit some places I've never been before. So far on my list are Tokyo, Hokkaido, Kagoshima and Kyoto. I want to check out the cherry blossoms in each place if I can! You can message me on Instagram, LINE or wechat. My ID is jzhang172.

Hi Lilithean⊠I'm old enough to be your - well, let's just say auntie! If you would like some mature company from someone who has done lots of research and planning before travel, let me know. My 2019 trip is from 14 April (Wakayama, Nara, Kyoto, KinosakiOnsen), then Tokyo from 27 April until departure on the 30 April.

Hi Jona Marie!!
For some reason my emails have not been coming through >.< Age difference aside Iâm sure it could be fun to adventure together somewhere if our schedules align!
Currently Iâm scheduled for Tokyo April 6-10, and then Kyoto April 15-20, then back to Tokyo from April 26/27th. The rest of the time Iâm booked a little off the beaten track, but if youâd like to do something one of those days let me know :) either way, I hope you have a wonderful time in Japan!

Hi Annie-zilla⊠Well, I got this most recent message, and nice to hear from you. We will overlap in Kyoto (eve of the 19th and the 20th). And in Tokyo, I arrive the eve of 27th with plans in Shinagawa area, but it is something fun so you might also come. My direct e-mail is AskJona, and that's on/at AOL (+ ".com"). So it's Askjona@aol.com (if it comes through writing it properly). If you send me a direct mail with your commitments on our overlap days, I'll provide details of what I have planned that might work. Ta!

Annie,
Shoot me an email if you have time. I have a rental car for the time 4/17-4/26. Starting in Tokyo, planning Mt Fuji, Chino, Takayama (depending on the Cherry Blossom forecast), Kyoto, (dinner with Jona Marie)
Traveling with another woman I met on this site, we donât speak any Japanese but I believe Apple maps can get us around. Rooms and car is all paid for by my company. Weâd love the company if youâre up for the trip. Jon.horde@yahoo.com

Without dates, and without the prefecture, it's hard to know where you're headed except for the unique and larger city names (such as Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, Tokyo). Hard to comment on it as presented.

Ha!
It's there - starting 21st April!
