I think there are some ways how to expression about that your situation.
Please refer to the following and choose which is the best to tell someone in your situation with your feelings then.
昨日の夜 (or 昨晩 as formal expression of respect than 昨日の夜) 、
私たちは日本で何がしたいかを話し合いました。
The sentence has nuance is a bit close to "had a discuss" with someone.
Like "put our heads together" for making the plans what will you them to do in Japan, detaily.
昨日の夜 (or 昨晩) 、日本で何がしたいかを語り合いました。
The phrase has feelings like "You talked about dream" without care the time for chatting.
For example, "I wish I can see HOTARU them." "Oh, that's sound lovely! And it's also nice if we will able to top mountain climb and have experience ZEN, too." "Cool. If we had the chance to go, let's try to do it, too."... Even it's a difficult thing to do them in reality.
There are still other else how to tell. However, I think these phrases are typical expressions. ^-^
