Trip will be in early to mid October and there are 2 of us with 3 luggage’s between us. We will solely be in Tokyo area and still contemplating in doing Mt Fuji.
Would love to get ideas and places to go such as festivals or temple related events.

Pre purchased Tickets: We already have our Disney tickets purchased and waiting for Shinjuku Sky slot dates to open via Klook.
Suica: I was able to purchase my Suica in advance, my companion need to get a Welcome Suica for himself in Narita.
Data sim: I have chosen Mobal for this trip, my companion has still not decided what to get.
