Just wanted to get an itinerary check. Leaving next week:
Day 0 (March 27th): Arrive in HND, clear customs, get to hotel. Maybe Shibuya Crossing and checkout Hachiko statue. Wander around Tokyo at night. Maybe get a drink at Park Hyatt (where lost in translation was filmed).
​
Day 1 (March 28th): 9:30 am Teamlabs, Ueno park, east gardens of imperial palace, Pokemon center DX. Pretty lightish day. Could add Tokyo skytree to this day since it’s near Ueno in the evening. But I heard a lot of people say it wasn’t worth going because it was too tall LOL.
​
Day 2 (March 29th): Starbucks reserve roastery Tokyo (I know I’m from Seattle but I heard it’s cool to sit up there). Mipig (teacup pig cafe), Miyahsh\*ta park, Meiji Jingu, Shinjuku Gyoen national garden, Shibuya Sky at 7:20 pm (couldn’t get a sunset res :/). Santa Monica Crepes. Also can go to pokemon center in Shibuya if I’m not pokemoned out. Maybe food tour but a lot of food tours require a minimum of 2 people :/
​
Day 3 (March 30th): (pretty open day). Thinking Southern Tokyo (Ginza, Minato, and Odaiba). Or could venture to Yokohama to see the giant Gungnam statue.
​
Day 4 (March 31st): Asakusa & Akihabara (have Kirby Café reservation at 1:25 pm). I also want to visit the art aquarium museum. Thinking I can do Asakusa earlier in the day
​
Day 5 (April 1st): Kiyomizu, Starbucks Kyoto, Gion, Hokan-ji temple, Maruyama park at night for the cherry blossoms 😀
​
Day 6 (April 2nd): Tenryu-ji temple, bamboo forest, Giouji temple, monkey park, romance train at 12 pm and take river rafting back. Kinkaku-Ji temple after getting back from rafting.
​
Day 7 (April 3rd): Fushimi Inari Taisha and hike, Pontocho Alley. Spend night in Osaka instead of Kyoto.
​
Day 8 (April 4th): Nara
​
Day 9 (April 5th): Himeji on the way to Hiroshima. Peace museum.
​
Day 10 (April 6th): Miyajima. Night train to Tokyo
​
Day 11 (April 7th): Tokyo DisneySEA
​
Day 12 (April 8th): Lake Kawaguchi or Hakone (still unsure which one, leaning the former because of better views of Fuji and nature)
​
Day 13 (April 9th): Free day depending on how I feel (maybe more Tokyo or Nikko day trip)
​
Day 14 (April 10th): Flight at 5 pm back to Seattle, Washington via Seoul Incheon airport.
​
Only downside I see is that I won’t get to see much of Osaka. I could take a day out of Tokyo to see it. But not sure. I heard a lot of people say Osaka is like a smaller Tokyo and some said it is skippable.
​
Any feedback appreciated! A lot of the things I booked are refundable. So I am flexible to move things around.
