Hi, if you haven\'t made exact plans for your trip in Japan yet, I strongly recommend you to go to Miyajima, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Nara, Kanazawa, Nikko, and Tokyo. Since you\'ll have only 10 days, it\'ll be difficult to go to every place I listed here, but at least, please try to stop by Kyoto, Nara, and Tokyo during your trip.
Pleas note that it will be extremely hot around end of August, so please be aware that you will have to deal with high heat with high humidity like Bangkok in Thailand. You can probably get along in Kyoto, Nara, and Tokyo in English since these are the very touristy areas in Japan. I suggest you to learn about train lines in Tokyo before you step into the city, then you\'ll be fine moving around in Tokyo. When you are in Tokyo, eat Sushi in \"Tsukiji\" where the biggest fish market in Tokyo locates and go to Harajuku to shop. For having fun night life, go to Roppongi or Shibuya. For sightseeing, Asakusa and Meiji-Jingu would be good places to visit.
Good luck and have fun!
