Hi all,
I’ll be visiting Japan for the first time from August 25 (plane lands at 8am) to the evening of September 2. I’m in my early 30s, traveling solo, and generally lean towards more social/party hostels. From my reading on this sub it sounds like post-COVID there isn’t much of that scene in Tokyo at least, and I’m honestly a bit overwhelmed at the different neighborhoods. Looing to spend the evenings bar hopping (bar crawls would be a plus) and possibly seeing a punk show.
This is my tentative schedule but honestly would love advice/feedback. Thanks!
8/25: Arrive Tokyo 8am, Asakusa and Ueno in afternoon
8/26: Harajuku, Shibuya, Roppongi
8/27: Free day/rest day
8/28: Mt. Fuji or Imperial Palace and Shinjuku
8/29: Bullet train to Kyoto in AM, Kitano Tenmangu, Kinkaku-ji, Philosopher’s Path
