Hello,
Recently, I’ve been planning out sightseeing routes in Tokyo for my future Japan trip. I will be staying in Tokyo for 6 full days, from 17.11 to 24.11. I’m planning on visiting Nikko as a daytrip, preferably 23.11, I suspect Tokyo will be crowded this day since it’s a national holiday. I’ve been trying to make interesting, thematic routes that would suit my group with some food oriented areas along the way. I’d love to hear your thoughts on my planning and routes. I’ve included possible activities that’d like to partake in, with hour estimations. I still have a single day left to plan out that I could use to relax my schedules, but If given enough time I’d also like to visit Kamakura. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Let me know what you think and how I could improve my routes. I’m really excited for my trip so I might not realise how much time certain places can take. Give me your honest opinion, perhaps it’s too much to handle in a single route.After this really active, exhausting but exhilarating visit to Tokyo we have visit to ryokan with onsen planned next 🙂
