Hello,
I am going to Japan with my wife in April (next month). Just wanted to ask for any feedback/advice on this itinerary, if its too much,etc. This is our first time going and the things that have been booked have been mentioned below (just havent booked shibuya sky/skytree/shinkansen tickets/pokemon cafe as they not available yet.) Also we are muslim so any muslim friendly/halal places in these areas would be appreciated. I am a gamer, so might explain some of the places below and want to do some shopping for vintage items (bags) as well. These are the main places and areas we would like to hit hopefully.
