Greetings from Austria.
After plans for our honeymoon trip to japan in october 2020 fell through, because of a nasty pandemic, the wife and I are currently planning our trip to japan from October 5th to October 25th. We are both at the end of our 20s and this will be the first time visiting japan for both of us.
We specifically tried not to plan the whole day as we want to do a bit of exploring as well. That’s also why theres no restaurants added to the list as we figured we will find something nice to eat anyways. Any input, tips or things we should keep in mind would be really appreciated.

The Hachiko statue is about 2 meters from Shibuya Crossing, so so seeing both will take about five minutes in total. (If you want to see the actual dead, stuffed, Hachiko, it’s in the National Science Museum in Ueno.)
Bear in mind that Japan is undergoing another spike in COVID-19 cases: it’s recommended you wear masks, though you’ll see many or most people not wearing them.
