Hi all, I am visiting Tokyo for the first time in September as a lone traveller and wondered if I could get some feedback on the first draft of my itinerary? Suggestions, criticisms etc are all welcome
Day 1 – Sunday
Arrive in Tokyo 7:15am. I am staying in the Hotel Gracery in Shinjuku, but cannot check in until the afternoon. I plan to put my bags into storage, then check out Ikebukuro (various anime / pokemon stores). After checking into my hotel, then spend the evening in Shinjuku
Day 2 – Monday
Early morning head to Meiji Jingu (thinking 6/7am). Late morning go to Teamlab Borderless for 3-4 hours. Late afternoon vist the National Art Centre.
Day 3 – Tuesday
Imperial Palace and East Gardens in the morning, walking through Akiharbara in the afternoon and checking out the sights and shops.
Day 4 – Wednesday
Studio Ghibli in the morning / early afternoon, before heading to Ginza to check out the Art Aquarium in late afternoon
Day 5 – Thursday
Day trip to Kamkura to see the shrines and giant budda
Day 6 – Friday
Tokyo National Museum in the morning, lunch and early afternoon at Ueno Park. Teamlab Planets late afternoon.
Day 7 – Saturday
My flight is not until midnight, although I will need to check out of my hotel in the morning. Senso Ji early morning (6/7am), collect my bags and put into storage, then nothing planned to allow me to be spontaneous or revisit something I liked from earlier in the week.
Not sure if I am being over ambitious with my timetable, or not ambitious enough!! I have left the evenings clear as I figured I could either check out the area I am in at the time, or head to Shibuya or Shinjuku.
