Hi everyone,
We plan to visit Japan for a week toward the end of March: about 3 days in Tokyo and 3 days in Kyoto/Osaka. I know our time is tight but that is all we can afford. I came up with this plan for 3 days in Tokyo:
Day 1: Arrive at Narita Int. Airport at 7:30 AM -> drop luggage at our hotel ( Ota city)
\- Pretty much explore around Asakusa/Taito area ( \~ 11:30AM – whenever)
\+ Ichiran ramen for lunch; visit Jins to get new glasses
\+ Sensoji temple
\+ Nakamise dori street
\+ Ghibli donguri republic
\+ Dinner at Asakusa Gyukatsu
\+ If we are not too tired, we will try to go to Tokyo sky tree or maybe visit a random shrine? What do you think?
​
Day 2:
\- Tsukiji fish market
\- Meiji Jingu shrine
\- Yoyogi Hachimangu shrine
\- Explore Shibuya ( shibuya parco/ daiso/ Don quiote)
\- Lunch at sushi katsumidori
\- Hachiko statue
\- Maybe Shibuya sky? Tokyo sky tree vs Shibuya sky: which one do you recommend?
\- Any good matcha/pancake dessert place in Shibuya?
\- Dinner: we are thinking unagidon or udon.
Day 3: Morning
\- Ameyoko
\- Akihabara
\- Lunch at Ushio ramen
\- Godzilla statue
\- Imperial palace ( I heard it is closed on Monday. Is it still worth visiting the garden? or should we substitute with something else in the area?)
\- Afternoon: Shinjuku ( If we drop Imperial palace, what is worth to visit in Shinjuku instead?)
\+ Kabukicho towel
\+ Yakitori for dinner ( shinjuku imoide yokocho area)
​
Is there anything else we can and should squeeze in? or something not worth visiting? Where should we go for the cherry blossom? Thank you!!
