Hi. As the title says, I’ll be in Osaka-Tokyo during early April this year but I’ve been put in charge of the Tokyo trip and I wanted some advice on the current plan I have (it’s my first time planning an itinerary) and I’m also open to suggestions since nothing is set in stone yet really. For some basic information, I’ll be traveling with 3 family members (all women), and we’ll be staying at a hotel in Makuhari, Chiba. I’m aware it’ll be at least an hour travel to Tokyo by train which is even more reason why I’d like the itinerary to be more organized.
Places marked with \* are non-negotiables as they are part of our travel pass.
TMI: I’m a big anime/manga fan too, so I’d like to go to Akihabara too for sure.
​
**Day 1**
Arrival at Haneda Airport around noon. (we’ll be coming from Osaka)
Check-in at the hotel, getting settled in and resting from our flight
Ghibli Museum (hopefully tickets will be available)
Shin-Okubo
Shinjuku Streets at night
​
**Day 2**
Tokyo Skytree\*
Spring Parks/Attractions: Ueno Park, Nakameguro River
Starbucks Reserve
Akihabara
​
**Day 3**
Meiji Shrine
Harajuku Shopping
Hachiko Statue
Shibuya Crossing + Shibuya Skyline\* (around afternoon/sunset)
Yebisu Garden Place (a special request by my family member, filming location for this one jdrama; Hana Yori Dango)
Chidorigafuchi Park
​
**Day 4**
Asakusa temple visit (Sensoji)
Kimono Rental and Hairstyling\*
Sumida Park
(this day feels a bit empty to me still, open to suggestions on where else we could go nearby)
​
**Day 5**
TeamLab Tokyo\*
Tokyo Tower\*
Imperial Palace
Ginza
(again, feel like I have to add more to this day..)
​
**Day 6**

​
**Day 8**
\- open to suggestions, it’ll be our last day. We will be leaving 1AM the following day.
\- probably will go back to places we want to see again?
​
I also want to go to more places that really give off the old traditional Japanese houses vibe?? And also great places to visit during spring. Much help would be appreciated, I’m aware it might still seem like it’s all over the place HFJRHFHR. Thank you in advance!
