Hello Reddit, can’t believe my Tokyo visit is just a few weeks away (October). I’m a mid 30’s female traveling alone that loves food, gardens, history and learning about new cultures. I’m very active so no concerns around walking or physical activities. This is a unique opportunity for me so willing to spend money for the right experiences but still love a good deal. I have travel experience but this is the largest foreign city I’ve navigated. I want to do a lot during the 4 full days I’m here but also want to be reasonable. Please let me know any suggestions or concerns you have with my itinerary.
