Itinerary check & help: Solo 7 days in Tokyo

Hi all, this will be my first time in Japan!! I have decided to keep as open a schedule as possible so I can enjoy and explore Tokyo peacefully, avoiding all time constraints. I have listed places where I plan to go which have multiple ‘points of interest’, I may or may not see all listed but thats okay.

Please let me know if this has any issues, have I planned too little or too much on some days? Am I missing out on something in a certain area thats great to visit?

  1. I’m visiting around the same time so I’ll be interested to see how other people respond!! Good luck on your trip!

  2. Shibuya crossing is right outside of Shibuya station, why is it with Harajuku.

    Also, Meiji Shrine is right next to Yoyogi Park which is right next to Harajuku station, which right next to Takeshita street. Omotesando will connect you to Shibuya station, because Harajuku and Omotesando are part of Shibuya.

    Also, you do not need to go to Mejiro to see illuminations, Shibuya is full of them.

    Also, Team Lab Planets is right next to Odaiba.
