PS. Is a day trip to Mt Fuji worth it or better to stay overnight? Thinking of scrapping Disneyland and just visit Fuji Q.

it looks like the samurai museum is closed
you can just walk from shibuya to harajuku, it’s probably faster than navigating shibuya station
also all that day 3 stuff in shinjuku can be done on day 1 also. shibuya and harajuku takes like a few hours at best.
day 4 ginza,minato,odaiba, asakusa, and akihabara all in 1 day? yeah thats not going to happen.
ginza is boring, no idea why you want to go to minato and odaiba is basically just a mall. Asakusa can eat a couple hours but akihabara is worth a full day if not more.
day 6, you aren’t going to make those 3 temples plus nara.
Disagree with the other comment, love the odaiba area. Worth a trip.
Fuji’s weather is fickle so I’d either stay flexible and book last minute when you know what the weather will be or go for an overnight stay and hope one is good!
