Hi everyone! We’d love to know if our itinerary so far is doable and not overpacked? We’re an eating and shopping couple so that’s mostly what we’re doing :’)
We’ll not experience jet lag as we live in a country nearby, and our flights are outside of the 5 days. We’re staying in Ueno.
**Day 0:** Arrival day (our ETA is at night)
**Day 1:**
AM to noon: Asakusa street food, Kura Sushi, Don Quijote
Afternoon to PM: Ueno park, thrifting in Ueno, Ameyoko shopping
**Day 2:**
AM to noon: Snoopy Museum & Snoopy Cafe
Afternoon: Travel to Shibuya, Shibuya sky, Shibuya and Harajuku shopping
PM: Dinner (any recommendations?)
**Day 3** \- we want this day to be chill since we’re going to Disneysea the day after
AM: Kichijoji – Capyneko cafe, Petit mura
PM: Shinjuku area, Tsujihan dinner
**Day 4:**
Whole day: Disneysea
**Day 5:**
AM – Atelier Matcha in Nihonbashi, Tokyo Station (Calbee+, Ramen Street, Tokyo Character Street)
PM: Ginza shopping & Akihabara arcade
**Day 6:** Departure in the morning
Would appreciate any suggestions and recommendations as well. Thanks in advance!

Looks good!
There are so many great meals to be had in Tokyo that I wouldn’t be overly focused on hitting specific places all the time. Some of my best meals were had at nondescript places I just wandered into.
Be sure to visit the basement of department stores to find foody heaven.
Calbee + is fantastic! I will say Ginza is quite big and you can easily spend ages browsing the shops so plan the shops you want to see.
You could actually probably put a few of those locations into one day and I agree to not focus on where to eat since there are so many good spots its kinda more fun to just explore and find some options. Maybe have a theme for type of food you’d like to get and go with that. I would make reservations though if it’s a spot you found on Instagram, tiktok, etc. since those places usually book fast and the Japanese live there long lines and reservations.
