Hello Reddit, I can’t believe my first trip to Tokyo is around the corner (October) and I would love for some help in-regards to my itinerary. For some background, I’m a mid 30’s female traveling alone. I’m big into food, gardens, history and enjoy learning about new cultures. With this being a unique opportunity for me I’m willing to spend money for the right experiences so not overly concerned with prices although I love a good deal. I’m active and fit so no concerns around lots of walking or physical activity. This is a stop along the way for an overall 3 week trip in Asia so I’ll have 4 full days in Tokyo and want to get the most out of it while being reasonable. I appreciate any and all help!
