With a 5-year-old, it would seem packed for us. When our child was five, Ueno Park *or* Sky Tree *or* Akihabara would have been plenty, and we live in Tokyo.
For Day 2, don’t plan on seeing many of the more interesting shops or other places in Shimokitazawa: many places don’t open until noon or, sometimes, after. We live in bicycling distance of Shimokitazawa and hardly ever brought our 5-year-old there; now that our child is 10, we still don’t go there often.
