Have painstakingly planned a trip to Tokyo, and was able to fit all of my top things into the first 3 full days i am there. Now i'm not sure what to do the 4th day. Would like this day to be more relaxed compared to the other three, but still would like a suggestion on a cool area to end up in or some suggestions on what to do. Here is what i have so far

Saturday, (Tokyo Day #1)

  • Arrive in Tokyo in mid afternoon - try to stay up until 10 pm at least to deal with jet lag
  • we are staying in Shinjuku area and don't plan to leave the area first day
    • Tokyu Kabukicho Tower: arcades, nightlife,
    • Omoide Yokocho (West side of Shinjuku Station): traditional alley (food/drink)
    • Golden Gai: narrow alley of bars/food

Sunday(Tokyo Day #2)

  • 9:30 - Senso Ji Temple
  • 10:30 - Walk around Nakemesi Dori street
  • Asakusa (~3 hours) just vibe here with no concrete plans. Options include:
    • Ride Rickshaw
    • Hoppy Street (bar district)
    • Tokyo Sky tree
    • Asahai beer tower (cool view bar)
  • 2:40 - Board Tokyo Cruise Himiko boat to Odiaba
  • 4:00 - Arrive in Odiaba, just vibe and walk around for a hour or so
    • Would have been interested in The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation or Joyopolis but don't think we'll have time
  • 5:30 - Teamlabs Planet’s
  • 7:00- Dinner in Roppongi Area
    • Tokyo Tower Red (closes at 10): VR Games

Monday (Tokyo Day #3)

  • 10:30 - Tokyo Metropolitan building observation deck
  • 11:30 - Walk around Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden (cherry blossoms)
    • There are three gardens here, only interested in japanese one
  • 1:00 - Lunch
  • 2:00 - Meji Shrine
  • 3:00 - Walk down Takeshita street
  • 4:00-6:00 - Stay in Shibuya area
    • Walk Miyashita Park
    • Nintendo world
    • Shibuya scramble (Starbucks for elevated view)
    • Hachiko dog statue
    • Pepper Parlor robot cafe
  • 6:00 - Reservation for shibuya sky sunset
  • 7:00 - Dinner/night out in Shibuya

Tuesday (Tokyo Day #4)

  • Morning activity??? (open to suggestions here as well), or just sleep in
  • 12:00-4:30 - Lunch and Ueno park
    • Walk around Ameyoko shopping district
    • Walk around giant park (2.8 miles total)
    • Go to Zoo (just to see Panda’s rest of zoo has bad reviews)
    • Museums- Japan national museum or others
    • Ueno Toshogu Shrine
  • 4:30 - Walk around Akihabara
  • 6:00 - Tokyo Giants game (probably only stay a few innings)
  • 8:00 - Dinner/nightlife

Wednesday, (Tokyo Day #5)
