Day 1 is little strange. Basically you’re going to Meiji Shrine area, then going to Musashino, then coming back to Meiji Shrine area again.
The thing is that Yoyogi park has nothing much to explore. It’s a mediocre park, a large one, but mostly aimed at the locals. You can go straight to Meiji shrine and you’ll not miss out.
What you should do is visit shibuya area more, since it’s close anyway, visit Omotesando backstreets, not just the Takeshita street which isn’t even that good, visit Nezu museum nearby which is great. Have a walk around Aoyama.
No plans on visiting the TeamLab exhibit? It’s one of the top things on my list for Tokyo.
