Hi all! I’ve been to Japan before, four years ago, pre-covid. This time I’m coming back with my wife and will have some friends there as well to meet up at day and night. I’m a huge omasake/sushi fan and so I centered a few of my days around food. Please let me know what I should add or take out since this will be my wife’s first time here and I’d love to make it special:
**1st day, Saturday:**
* Arrive at Haneda at 3:30 PM and take the subway/train to Tsuki Tokyo hotel located in Chuo City. I expect to have some ramen around 7-8 PM by the time we’ve settled in (Mugitooribu,
mentokoroginzasa, Ginzaoboroduki)
* Rest
