6 day itinerary for first time in Japan. Any suggestions?

Hi guys! Been researching and fixing up our trip, but not sure if the routes I placed are the most sensible and if my sched is too tight.

Preferences – skipping Mt Fuji since we’re going on July and we probably won’t see it anyway. My girlfriend prefers the urban vs going to temples or parks. Disneyland, Ghibli and Harry Potter are what she’s most excited about.

To me, I want to ideally have a more chill and loose itinerary, but also don’t want to miss out on the must sees. Lastly, I made the itinerary thinking our trip is too short to plan anything outside Tokyo. Day trip reccos would be good too if it fits 🙂

Thanks!

Note: Asterisks are the spots I feel either don’t make sense in the itinerary, or I’m not too interested in

  1. I recommend putting these locations onto a map, because you are kind of all over the place.

    For instance:

    You have Ghibli Museum and Legoland grouped together when they are on total opposite ends of the city. 1.5 hours by (multiple) train. Legoland is in Odaiba, but you have Odaiba as an asterisked place on the same day.

    Kichijoiji is right next to Ghibli, but you have it on a different day.

    I think you have way too much going on on Day 1, too.

  2. Yanaka – old Tokyo is a must and one of my favs when I am in Tokyo.
