Me and my friend are two young guys spending a few days in Tokyo before heading to LA. I've always been a big anime fan and exercise buff while my friend is more into nightlife and unique experiences.
It'd be great if I could get feedback on whether my itinerary is too crammed and maybe some similar attractions you really enjoyed. I put in everything I was interested in but I'm open to cutting some stuff.
Thank you!
