Today is the last day of my solo trip to Japan and just wanted to recount everything I did (weeb edition). Spent the the week in shinjuku while I loved my proximity to the station in the future wish I’d choose a different Less noisy location as I’m someone who doesn’t enjoy night life.
Day 1: Decided on Shibuya
• shibuya crossing
• One piece mugiwara store
• Meiji Mingu Temple
• Ended up in Harajuka and found Takeshita street
• yoyogi Park
• Returned to shinbuya and checked our Pokémon Center and Nintendo stores
• Stopped by the Hachiko statue which I missed
• Returned to shinjuku walked around for a little bit and went to sleep
Day 2: Random Day
• Woke up and went to Hageni Park to check out the plum blossom trees
• Caught a train to Pokémon centre DX (If Your only going to one this should be it) explored the area after
•Went to check our nakano broadway but it was closed and there seemed to be guys with construction hats.
• honestly just did some exploring today at night stopped at kabuchiko to get some pictures at night being a massive fan of the yakuza games.
Day 3: Akihabara and Senso ji day
• Heard the train station announcement for kr our arrival in ueno and decided to hop off the train to see the park so I could see the pandas. My favourite animal ended up being the Galapagos Giant Turtle.
• Arrived in Akihabara cue nerding out and comparing prices at each and every place I was able to find overall whike I was still impressed I was less impressed than I hoped
• Maid cafe – honestly I’m glad I did it because I can say that I have but wasn’t really for me also really expensive.
• Finished the day with batting cages
Day 4: Break day
• My introvert battery was in dire need of a recharge. Hung around the hotel and went out for food with some small leaves of shinjuku exploration
Day 5: Random
• Tokyo Skytree in the morning
• Odaiba in the afternoon. There was an idol performance when I arrived at odaiba which was very cool to see.
Day 6: Clean up
• Went to Ikebukaro to check out animate and the location
• Returned to akihabara sinced I missed Akiba culture zone second hand floor which was amazing and bought a figure I couldn’t stop thinking about
•Visited an Onsen for about 2.5 hours and truly enjoyed it found myself not wanting to leave
• Explored more of shinjuku
Day 7: I fly out
• probably going to head to Shinjuku Gyeon National garden this morning and walk around for a bit. Grab a bite to eat then time to go and hit duty free at airport.
Regrets:
Not making Saturday which was the practically only clear day while I was here a hakon onsen day to see Mount Fuji closer.
I do regret not getting outside of Tokyo but the plan was always to stay in Tokyo and save the rest of Japan for a future possible trip.
Not trying more food while I was here.
Honestly while I wish I coulda seen Ginza and Roppongi hills though I think I’m happy with my exploration of Tokyo it would have been nice.
