Hi guys! I will be heading to Tokyo in July solo for the first time, and put together somewhat of an itinerary. I want to see if the things I am doing here are realistic and achievable, and if the timings make sense. Another thing I am not sure of would be getting the Hakone Freepass for use for one day- would it really be worth it? I am also still stuck on Shinagawa for my last day- I would have to reach Haneda by 9pm, so I am not quite sure on what to do during the wait after checking out from my airbnb. I found that shinagawa is quite near the airport, so I wanted to perhaps go there to take a look.

You can put your luggage in a coin locker after you check out and go do whatever you want/need to do and then just retrieve it before going to the airport. Shinagawa isn’t very exciting. You’ll probably have something you want to revisit or something you haven’t gotten to yet by your last day so just leave it open for now.
