Hi! I will be visiting Japan with a friend (both Female) in November. We planned out something for 5 days but not sure if it would be too rushed and if we could do everything in that day. We did a lot of research online and found so many places and now we don’t know which places to prioritise too. I would love to hear inputs from everyone here 🙂
Day 1 (Ginza / Akasaka / Tokyo):
Arrive at Tokyo at 5am and check into hotel etc..
Breakfast at Tsujiki Fish Market
Hie Shrine
Imperial Palace + Chidorigafuchi
Yasukuni Jinja
Hamarikyu Gardens
​
Day 2 – Kawaguchi daytrip:
Lake Kawaguchi (view Mt Fuji)
Mt. Kachikachi Ropeway to Tenjoyama Park
Chureito Shrine
Itchiku Kubota Art Museum (cafe + maple corridor for autumn leaves)
​
Day 3 (Akihabara / Asakusa / Ueno):
Sensoji Temple (early morning to beat the crowd)
Ueno Shrines (Kaneiji Kiyomizu Kannondo, Shinobazunoike Bentendo, Ueno Toshogu, Gojoten Shrine, Kaneiji)
Nezu Shrine
Nakamisa Shopping street (souvenir shopping)
Yanaka ginza
​
Day 4 (Shibuya / Shinjuku / Harajuku):
Meiji Shrine
Yoyogi Park
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
Pokemon Center
Omoide Yokocho
Golden Gai
Day 5:
Uniqlo at Ginza
Last minute shopping
Or another day trip to Mt. Takao or Hakone (?)
I’m not sure if Day 1-4 is overly packed and we should move some to day 5 or it’s fine so we can do another day trip. Please advice!! Thank you 🙂
