My gf and I (late 20s and mid 30’s) decided to do a last minute vacation to Tokyo. This will be the first time for the both of us. We will be landing in Narita on Mon. Sept. 18th and departing on Sun. Sept 24th.
Please feel free to critique our itinerary and help make it more efficient with the travel between places. Most of the places I listed were just from word of mouth and from online articles. We are big on sightseeing and experiencing new adventures. We are also big foodies, so any food recommendations near the areas listed would be great! We are open to cutting out some stuff or rearranging them.
We haven’t figured out how to get around yet, but from what I’ve read, its pretty easy to get around by train.
Any tips and tricks would also be appreciated! Thanks.

“We are big on sightseeing and experiencing new adventures.”
Apologies, but: Then why are you spending a third of your vacation at Disney? 😀
For getting around Tokyo via public transit, you will be using a SUICA-card a lot, [so you should familiarize yourself with those](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU5bZIGVeAo).
