Hi r/JapanTravel,
Relatively last minute trip being planned to Japan next month. I’ve just started and was looking for your guidance and a sense-check on what I’ve come up with so far for the first leg of the trip, Tokyo.
**Day 1: Arrive in Tokyo**
* Land in NRT around 5:30 pm
* Check in to either Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo (about 500m west of station) or Oakwood Premier Tokyo (right next to Tokyo Station). `I’d love your thoughts on this.`
* Eat and drink in Shinjuku:
* Kabukicho
* Golden Gai
**Day 2: Shibuya**
* Explore Shibuya and Harajuku
* Meiji Jinju Shrine
* Miyashita Park
* Sky Shibuya
**Day 3: Shinjuku**
* Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. `Or, better to skip this and do East Gardens of the Imperial Palace?`
* Shopping at Isetan Shinjuku, Tokyo Hands, etc
* Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. `Or, better to skip this and only do Shibuya Sky?`
**Day 4: Asakusa and Ginza area:**
* Start early at Senso-ji and Nakamise Dori
* Tsukiji Outer Market
* Art Aquarium Museum
* Teamlabs
* Odaiba District, if we have time
* `Is this too much in one day?`
**Day 5: Free day in Tokyo**
* Giving ourselves a day to roam around freely or go back to somewhere we enjoyed.
**Day 6: Onwards to Kyoto, but looking for an onsen/ryokan on the way.**
* `Any suggestions?`
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Fixed typo.
