Hey everyone.
I (26M) will go on my first solo trip to Japan this September!
It’ll be a full month in Japan, with 11 days spent in Tokyo.

For Day 5 Ikebukuro you could also visit Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo, Gokokuji Temple, Rikugien Gardens and some kawaii or fun cafe’s around the Ikebukuro.

Overall, ChatGPT did a great job!
Some of these schedules are not feasible.
Day 3 is too packed. Odaiba and Akihabara are nowhere near each other. By the time you are done with everything in Odaiba, you’ll only reach Akiba at night (unless you intend on that).
Day 5 could have more stuff. Sunshine city may be a big shopping mall but it’s not a full day affair. Either roam around the place or you can add Akihabara to this day.
On day 11, there is no time for you to go to Ghibli museum unfortunately. You’re gonna be there at least till the late afternoon and you have a plane to catch. I don’t recommend planning big activities on your departure day. Shopping and food trips will do.
>Visit Kabukicho Tower at night
You’re not the first to mention this.
Kabukicho Tower is probably not what you expect. There is no viewing platform, there is a large-ish Namco arcade/gachapon (going there “on purpose” is a bit too much), an average food court, a live venue (Zepp), a club (Zero), a very average dining bar, a hotel, and a SUPER EXPENSIVE luxury cinema.
What do you want to do there ?
Overall I think it’s too packed
I, too, will be a solo male, spending 1 month in japan. Having never planned a trip before in my life, I’m trying to do some research here on where to go and what to see. You don’t by any chance have the rest of your mont long itinerary anywhere for me to peruse?
i think that’s a good schedule ,but i just want to ask if you are speaking a little bit of japanese or just english?
