Hi! I am looking for feedback on our day Tokyo Itinerary. Our trip is in the first week of October. After this we continue on to Kyoto and Osaka but we don't have that planned out in detail yet.
We are in our mid-twenties, neither of us really drink and are mostly looking forward to eating our way through Japan! There is a bit of shopping we'd like to do but we are pretty picky but we don't feel the need to go into every store.
For food, we have a few places flagged that we would like to try but happy to abandon those plans if we find something better when exploring or depending on hunger! Breakfast will likely always be 7/11, Lawson, or Family Mart.
We would prefer when things aren't super crowded but we also are pretty patient and experienced travellers so we understand this is all part of the game :)
Obviously, we tried to make this as flexible as possible so we may do things slightly out of order especially if we get hungry or whatever!
Any advice or tips is helpful. We have an extra day right now we may use for a Nara or Hiroshima day trip from Osaka but we could also add it to Tokyo as well (any thoughts would be appreciated!)
Day 1
- Arrive at HND around 6:30pm
- Customs, etc
- Train to hotel in Ginza and sleep
Day 2
- Transit to Asakusa (as early as we can!)
- Explore Senso-ji and surrounding streets

- Potentially Asakusa Gyukatsu
- Look for some souvenirs at Kappabashi Street
- Dessert/Treat around Nakamise-dori Street if we feel like it
- Transit back to Ginza, stop at Character Street if we aren't too tired, if we are go straight back to hotel for a rest
- Grab dinner in Ginza, explore a few stores if we have the energy
Day 2
- Transit to Shibuya
- Do one of the early Shibuya Sky timeslots

Day 3
