re: Vietnam and Japan Advice

Right on! Thanks for the tips.
We are spending more time in Hanoi than Saigon and Hoi An. A couple days in Saigon and a couple more in Hoi An, then 4 days in Hanoi. One of the days is a trip to Halong.
I don't know a whole lot about Vietnam other than the food, so I'm looking forward to finding out more.
That's pretty much how I have things mapped out. SE, NW, far North, and Central. I'm a little worried about the language barrier and trying to figure out the buses.
We are staying a few blocks from the Shinjuku station. We unfortunately don't have a whole lot of time in Tokyo - just two days, so we are trying to cram a lot in.

I would recommend trying to divide your days into different parts of the city to avoid stress and optimize your time.

Shibuya and Shinjuku are the best neighborhoods to see modern Japan

I stayed at an onsen north of Kyoto next to a lake, it was amazing and easily accessible from Kyoto station. As stated previously, Kyoto is full of temples and shrines, the bus system is very efficient and can get you from one side of the city to the other. If you are planning on taking the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Tokyo I hope you already have the jr pass. Jr pass also works on many train lines within Kyoto and Tokyo. Tokyo is busy busy busy, pick certain things you want to do and don’t try to do too much. Some of their rail stations are immense and getting from place to place can take awhile even though the trains are very punctual. Have a great time, I loved Japan.

If you have only two days in Tokyo, I’d skip the Imperial Palace grounds. This is a high-volume tourist spot and takes a while, and while it is a nice park, you will see much better versions in Kyoto. I’d recommend spending one day in Shinjuku and Shibuya and the other in Taito and Ueno
