Hello everyone, I’ve been lurking on this subreddit for awhile now. Family of 3, 29(M), Wife 29 w/ 5 yr old toddler. It will be our first time in Japan. We are from Hawaii Looking to Eat delicious foods and learn about the culture in Japan. Already booked our Flights and Accommodations. We’ve made an Itinerary after hours of research and would love some feedback, some tips, advices with toddler and experiences. We look to take the time to enjoy this trip and not rush attractions. I’m hoping this itinerary is not too packed on each of the days. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Great job on the research looks solid!
Just remember it be hot and humid, bug spray, and if bringing stroller trains can be cramp.
Also if going up shibuya sky, not really a point to go up Tokyo tower. Your kid might like to run around the park next to Tokyo tower.
