We (7 people, my elderly (but in good shape) parents, three kids 14F, 12F, 10F and my spouse and I) are traveling to Japan in late June into early July. We have three days in Tokyo at the beginning of our trip. Does this itinerary look do-able?
DAY 1:
Arrive HND around mid-afternoon
Head to the hotel in Asakusa, decompress a bit
Dinner somewhere near hotel, maybe an izakaya
Rest, since we’ll probably be very jet lagged.
DAY 2:
Explore Asakusa area: Senso-ji, Nakamise-dori
Meiji Jingu
Harajuku for shopping and street food
(We have no lunch plans as we plan to eat street food at Nakamise-dori and Harajuku)
Is a cat cafe frowned upon? My kids want to go, but I’ve read here about the animal rights issues in Japan and having second thoughts
Shibuya
Drinks at Shibuya Sky
Would Omoide Yokocho for dinner be a good idea?
DAY 3: last day in Tokyo
Gotokuji Maneki Neko temple
Tsukiji Outer Market
Lunch somewhere around Tsukiji
Ginza to shop and explore
Akihabara
Kappa-bashi
Spouse and I to go out for omakase sushi (any recommendations? Doesn’t have to be super high end or Michelin star, but we are willing to pay for a great experience)
My parents and kids eat dinner somewhere else in Asakusa maybe ramen (Ichiran? Somewhere better?)
After Day 3, we will be going to Hakone, probably leaving early in the morning.
