Going to Japan with a friend for the first time ever. We will be there for 12 days. Our plan is to be in Tokyo for a week and then shift over to Osaka for a week. Neither of us are very well versed in travel planning and the itinerary is what has us the most stressed so any advice is welcome as we feel incredibly overwhelmed and need to arrange for accommodations soon.
The main focus are museums (we will be getting the Grutto Pass) and running around finding the souvenir stamps. We’d also like time for some Ginza and Shibuya shopping and of course, food.
This is the best rough draft I could gather without too many stressed tears…
* Day 1 (Sat): Yumenoshima Topical Greenhouse, Tokyo Sea Life Park, Tokyo Metro Museum
* Day 2 (Sun) Tokyo: Imperial Palace Gardens, Idemitsu Museum of Arts, Mitsuo Aida museum, National Showa Memorial Museum
* Day 3 (Mon) Disney: Disneyland/DisneySEA
* Day 4 (Tues) Sumida: Kiyosumi Gardens, Fukagawa Edo Museum, Sumida Hokusai Museum, Tokyo Skytree
* Day 5 (Wed): Tokyo Tower, New Azabudai TeamLabs, Shinjuku
* Day 6 (Thu): Edo Open Air Architecture Museum, Ghibli Museum and Straw Hat Cafe
* THIS IS WHERE I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING BECAUSE WE WANT TO SQUEEZE IN GHIBLI PARK SOMEHOW ON OUR WAY TO OSAKA AND DON’T KNOW HOW.
* Day ? Osaka: – Nakanoshima-koen Park, Osaka Castle, Osaka Science Museum
* Day ? Osaka: Dontonbori, Hozenji Temple, Janjanyokocho Nanyodori-shotengai
* Day ? Osaka: Universal Studios
* Day ? Osaka: SUGGESTIONS WELCOME
I hope that I’m off to a good start but please let me know your thoughts! Any and all suggestions are welcome, Thank You!
