Hello! I’m (35M) visiting Japan in Mid-June for the first time. I only have 4 nights and 5 days, so I decided to stay only in Tokyo. I booked an Airbnb in Shibuya all 4 nights.
I could use any recommendations for great restaurants, bars, or any events happening in mid-June? Please let me know if my itinerary doesn’t make sense, or if you recommend any changes. I love sports, music, nightlife, and all types of Japanese food.
I speak very little Japanese but learning the basics, so I booked a few tours through Airbnb that I *italicized below (along with tickets for anything I already bought that I can’t change).*
I will also activate an eSIM before I arrive. I will rely heavily on Google Maps and Google Translate to navigate.
**Last Question**: What type of public transportation pass should I purchase if I want to visit everything in my itinerary?
Thank you!
