Hi Everyone,
Thank you so much for your helpful suggestions and feedback. I revised my itinerary based on your suggestions and included it below.
**Question:** Please could you give me some feedback on this latest itinerary below?
**Question:** Is Disneyland / Disneysea recommended for a 29-year-old male solo traveller? I’ve never been to Disneyland and I’m not a big Disney fan however I heard the parks are fun. From what I’ve seen the one in Tokyo is much cheaper than the parks in the U.S.

I’m a disney fan, I had a great time there as a 38m travelling solo. its much much cheaper than any of the US parks.
You cannot avoid kabukicho for a super simple reason, golden gai is in kabukicho.
>I’m not a big Disney fan
Then you have to ask why are you going? Rides? There are plenty of other places around Tokyo that have Rides. And a lot of them are way cheaper.
Looking for something to do in Osaka? Want a Theme Park experience but not into Disney. Universal Studios is in Osaka. You’ll get the similar/same experience and it will cost more.
