Hi guys, my girlfriend and are mid 20s going to Korea and Japan and wanted to get some feedback on my Tokyo portion of the itinerary. Any feedback would be great appreciated! I am not sure if this is too cramped.
For some context, we’re not the biggest anime people, and really want to see as much as possible, including art, shopping, history, parks/cherry blossoms, and most importantly food.
I put in a day for a day trip, but not sure if its worth it, or whether we are better off just spending another day in Tokyo. Here’s the itinerary below:
