Hey all, I’m a first time solo traveler visiting Tokyo and would appreciate any feedback or suggestions on this rough itinerary. Wanted to do a sanity check since I couldn’t dedicate full focus to planning this trip and it’s right around the corner (11/25-12/1).
Am I being too conservative? I intentionally left some time between meals since random things might come up. Thanks in advance!

Most of the shops in the Nakamise area don’t open until 10 AM.
Yoyogi Park and Meiji Jingu abut one another, so it seems a waste to go to them on different days.
For a stay of 5 days, it seems odd to spend most of them in gardens or shopping. The weather’s supposed to turn cold (highs of 13 to 15, respectively, on 25 and 26 November, for example), so spending all day outside might not be the most comfortable unless you’re from a cold region.
