Hi everyone! I have a trip coming up in 4 weeks and I’m so excited! A little bit about me I’m an adult traveling alone in mid July. This is my first time leaving the country by myself so I’m a little nervous.
Some things I planned:
Day 1 (after day of arrival): I’m going to Akihabara to explore the electric city, go shopping, see arcades, go to the maid cafe for the cringe lol, and an owl cafe! Not sure what else to fit in after shopping around there.
Day 2: in the morning I’m going on a tour of the imperial palace. Then afterwards I’m going to checkout Ginza district, the art aquarium, and the fashion street Takeshita. Go to National Tokyo Muesem
Day 3: going to Sensoji temple in the morning, checking out SkyTree observation deck and shopping. Maybe the cruise of the bridges?
Day 4: Meji Shrine in the morning
Day 5 or 6: I want to do the shrines of the gods of fortune pilgrimage and see all of them accross the city to collect all the dolls. I think they’re really cute.
Add in a trip to team borderless exhibit
I was thinking of doing karaoke but I’m alone and I realized that most karaoke seems to be for groups in private booths. Not open for all in front of a crowd like in western bars.
I would go to dance clubs or try social bars or however it works in Japan but my disability makes it hard for loud crowded environments. Being alone makes it scarier so I’ll try to stay away from shadier parts of town and scam places if I can.
Not a complete list yet I’m not sure what must see food places, shows, or night time experiences I should consider.
If anyone has any ideas I should add in let me know!
Edit: looks like the owl cafe or animal cafes are a bad idea thanks guys
