Hello. I will be going to Japan near the end of June and will be staying in Tokyo for 6 days this year. This is my first time traveling out of country solo. I need opinions and advice on my current itinerary. I already paid for the flight and hotel. Just need help figuring out my days there. Honestly I’m going for the food and stores (increase plush collection) for this trip.
$1500 spending budget. (Converting $1200 into 148,835.36Y. After food, entry tickets, and travel costs 121,765.65 spending budget)
Day 1: Arriving at airport in Tokyo at night and heading to the hotel that is 50 min train ride. Go to sleep.
Day 2: Minato city: Joypolis amusement park. McDonalds for lunch. Odiaba beach. Divercity Tokyo Plaza. Getting food from 7-eleven for Dinner.
Day 3: Sanrio Puroland and Shibuya: Puroland. Kiddy Land toy store. McDonalds for lunch. Madarake Shibuya. Magnet shopping center. Parco shopping center. Dinner at Ichiran Ramen shop in Shibuya. Desert at Marion crepes or any crepes store near Shibuya.
Day 4: Akihabara and Nakano: Animate Akihabara shop. Super Potato. Hobby off Akihabara. Steak house restaurant for lunch. Mandarake Akihabara store. Nakano Broadway. Eating at a ramen shop near hotel for dinner.
Day 5: Akihabara and Ikebukuro: Taito station. Radio Kaikan. Kanda Myojin Shrine. Starbucks for lunch. Otome road in Ikebukuro. Sunshine city mall. Eating at a tonkatsu restaurant near hotel for dinner.
Day 6: Packing up: Explore parks near hotel. Eat at a restaurant near hotel that specializes in Unagi. Leave hotel and catch flight at midnight.
Is this too much for each day? Is the spending amount to small? I’m sticking to two meals a day with some street foods in between to save on costs. I’m waking up early each day 7:00am because its my style to get up early even on vacation.

McDonalds twice? I get wanting to go once for the gimmick, but at least try Freshness Burger or Mos Burger. Heck, Decks, where Joyopolis is located, is in a mall and they have a food court, or the other mall (with the Gundam store) across the street too.
Yokohama is outside of Tokyo,like 1 hr 45 mins. Did you mean to include it?
