Hi guys, my boyfriend and I will be in Japan for 6 days next next week. We made an itinerary but we would love your input to make sure we have enough time to visit the places we put together or should we swap some places to visit on another day? I hope that makes sense. Our accommodation will be at Shinjuku. We’re also down for a day trip from Tokyo but we’re not sure if it’s possible. Any recommendations or advice would be great. Thank you!

Do you actually have plans for Ginza, like shopping? If not, I might suggest that on day 1 you don’t do Ginza and head to Yoyogi Park and Meiji Shrine since it’s near Harajuku. Maybe if you’re not too tired, you can knock off some of the sites in Shibuya since the night scene is nice.
I would also suggest adding in Ueno if you have time.
Some day trips suggestion from Tokyo.
– Mt. Takao, Yokohama, Kawagoe, Hakone, Mt. Fuji (Lake Kawaguchiko), Gotemba Premium Outlets, Kamakura. Places like Hakone and Mt. Fuji need some planning though, and you might need to consider buying transport pass.
If you plan to stay in Tokyo, can visit Ginza, together with Tsukiji Outer Market and TeamLab Planets Tokyo.
