My fiance and I (30) will be in Japan from 5/1 – 5/15. Due to Golden Week, we’ll be trying to avoid the crowds leaving the city by staying in Tokyo for the first 5 days and leaving on 5/6 with JR Hokuriku Arch Pass. Not sure if that’ll work, but I guess we’ll see.

* Keisei Skyliner into Tokyo
* Dinner
* Tokyu Hands store for shopping
5/2

* Dinner
5/3
* Studio Ghibli Museum – This day can be swapped with another depending on tickets (or not)
* Lunch
* Omotesando Hills, Nezu Museum/Garden
* Meiji Jingu Shrine
* Dinner
5/4
* Imperial Palace (10am tour) + East Garden
* Lunch

* Dinner
5/5
* ~~Klook Day Tour or similar – Maybe some Mt Fuji/Hakone one~~
* Senso-Ji (closes 5pm)
* Lunch
* Kappabashi Dougu Street (Kitchenware)

5/6
* Leave Tokyo in morning towards Karuizawa
We don’t have much planned post dinners most days since we don’t like bars, but will aim for walking around in a park or similar. Also lot of shrines/temples in later part of trip, so only hitting what seems to be recommended most while in Tokyo.
Edit: Shifted around based on feedback. Should be hopefully ok amount of walking a day now.
