What is the best all-around zoom lens for Fujifilm X-T5?

So I finally saved up and bought the X-T5 but I feel like an idiot because I didnt know lenses were sold separately. I have a trip to Japan coming up in like three weeks and I really need just one lens that can do everything because I dont want to carry a heavy bag or keep switching parts while I'm walking around Kyoto.

My budget is probably around $800 to $1000 max. I keep seeing things like 18-55 or 16-80 and it makes no sense to me... is there one 'best' zoom that just stays on the camera all the time for a beginner? I just want clear photos without it being too complicated...

I'd be careful choosing the Fujifilm XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS as your only lens. I remember missing so many shots in Osaka because it just couldnt zoom enough. The Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR is much safer for a trip like Japan, even if it's a bit bigger. You really dont want to be swapping lenses while walking through crowded shrines.
