Hi all! My friend told me that this would be a good place to ask for itinerary review. I wanted to have it double checked if it’s feasible and yeah this is our first time going too, if there’s any places or activities that I may have overlooked, or if I’m falling into a tourist trap. I wanted to check the feasibility first before figuring out which local cuisines that I must try in each region or finding the hotel. So yeah, thank you so much for your time in advance!

Here’s the following details to our trip:
* Family of 4 (all adults)
* Eyeing to go around Dec 19 to 26 this year
* Planning to land on KIX around 2PM then leaving on HND around 3PM
* Mostly want an equal balance of weeb things and tourist destinations so my parents won’t get bored with it lol
* Haven’t fully figured out the last day, somewhat of a flextime period but might go round 2 Akihabara or maybe to Shimo-Kitazawa if we have time
* I feel Day 2 in Tokyo is gonna be jam-packed so maybe some recommendations? (and also would need store recommendations in Shibuya xD)
* We’re not tight with money so don’t worry about it
Once again, thank you so much!
