Day 2 night – you will be close to the Asahi beer HQ. Go to the top floor, then take the escalator to the floor above.
If you drink (even if you don’t) go to the Asahi bar. Grab a drink and enjoy the views of Tokyo looking out to Asakusa. Get there early ish as it gets busy.
Day 3 is fairly packed. But, if you think you can do it, then by all means. Don’t forget to check out views from the Tokyo metropolitan building at sunset. It gets busy, but is free.
Day 5 – Ginza has tons to do. You can do shopping, get gifts, really good food spots.
1. Asakusa/Ueno has great izakayas where locals come to hang. You can book an izakaya crawl or do it yourself. I did it with this guy, and it was fun – https://www.best-exp-jp.com
3. Shinjuku Gyoen is a gorgeous park, and it shuts at 4PM. You can skip the other parks and just go there.
Days 1, 2, and 3 sound too packed, and 4/5 are the opposite. It might be a better idea to spend 2 days each exploring Shinjuku/Shibuya/Harajuku and Ueno/Asakusa/Akihabara.
