Please help me simplify this plan. Flying in next 48 hours

HI,

I think it is too much and I want to simplify this and remove certain things. Any tips please?

24 January, first day:

· Arrive at Haneda at 7.35 am

· Collect pocket WIFI and 72-hour metro ticket (I don’t think I need Suica as I can simply get a 72-hour ticket, surely that will be better, right?)

· Going to Hotel in Shinjuku where we will be based.

· Drop luggage at the hotel

· Lunch at CoCo Ichibanya

· Look at local shops near hotel like 100 yen store, Lawson, 7/11, Family Mart…

  1. Where are you planning on seeing sumo on the 30th? The grand tournament at Ryogoku ends on the 22nd.

    The one other thing I can see that might be tricky is planning dinner in Shinjuku after Disneyland, since it’s open until 10pm.

    Most of the days look pretty relaxed, if anything. Like doing harajuku and shibuya in a day is fine, going to Ginza and watching a movie is fine. I’d spend another day doing something outside of Tokyo, but that’s me.

  2. You’ve got some good looking vegetarian restaurants here – sorry I don’t have suggestions for your itinerary but I did bookmark some of those restaurants! ;p

    I’d love to read a review of them when you return, if you feel like writing one 🙂

    Have a great trip, enjoy Japan!
