Seems very in control and leisurely, actually. Enjoy!
Nothing like partying first night on jet lag then getting up at 10am. Kanpai!
5 days in Tokyo is plenty to see what you’ve got here and much more.
Seems ok overall. Generally relaxed pace, not trying to rush to do too much. You might not have a lot of time to explore Shinjuku because you’ll have to factor in clearing customs, going to get cash and maybe a Welcome Suica card, finding the right train to get away from the airport, riding that train, walking to your hotel and checking in, maybe a quick shower to refresh. I’d guess you’re looking at being ready to explore at around 6 if you’re quick and all goes well. Honestly I’d probably be ok with that amount of time – I didn’t really like Shinjuku that much personally.
Other than that, maybe not enough time at Disney Sea if you’re only arriving at 3 pm. But I didn’t go so am unsure about that one. It’s kinda why I didn’t go though – didn’t really want to dedicate a full day to something like that, to justify the costs.
If it’s TeamLabs Planets you’re going to, you’ll probably want about 2 hours plus it’s in a location that will take you 2-3 different subway trains to get to, so add some travel time to get there. I think you have enough time built in here, but unless you’re just going to grab an onigiri at 7-11/Family Mart/Lawsons, you’ll be eating after your tower visit.
I think you could easily explore everything of interest in Akiba in half a day and go elsewhere the other – if it’s anime stuff you’re interested in I highly recommend Nakano Broadway! Have fun!
Disney Sea is usually a full day from opening at 9am. People usually get there early (we got there about an hour early at 8am) to line up. The most popular rides can have lines exceeding an hour and a half.
Don’t do TeamLabs! It‘s a tourist trap and you‘ll want to run back to your hotel to scrub your feet afterwards 🫣 at least the TeamLabs Planet in Odaiba. was there 2 weeks ago and so disgusted
