Itinery check, I’m going on holiday for 12 days to Tokyo with my girlfriend soon. I work in a nearby country so we can easily come back for separate trips to Osaka/Kyoto and other cities.
Obviously this is longer than most people’s holidays here but I was also looking to relax a bit as it’s been a while since I’ve had time off from work. I was hoping for some advice on additional things to do to fill out the schedule and perhaps some Ramen recommendations/lesser known gems in Tokyo
March 22 – Arrive Haneda Airport 2pm, sort out Suica card and pocket WiFi at airport, Check in at hotel in Ginza. Evening free, what to do?
March 23 – Stroll around Ueno park, Senso-Ji, Nakamise street, Tokyo Skytree, Akihabara, playing at arcade and just generally strolling around looking at the retro gaming places. Open to suggestions nearby. I’m unsure what order to do these things but know they’re all in the same area so put them together on this day. I’ve heard Senso-Ji is better at night but also that Ueno park gets busy during the day?
