Itinerary Check – 11/2-11/11 – Osaka & Tokyo

I'm visiting Japan as part of my honeymoon with my wife from 11/2-11/11. We're flying from South Korea to Japan on 11/2. Would love some thoughts if my itinerary makes sense and where I should make adjustments.

Day 1 – 11/2 – Osaka

  • Flight lands around 5PM
  • Check into hotel & explore Dotonbori/Shinsekai area for food

Day 2 – 11/3 – Nara & Nintendo Museum

  • Nara Park & Todaiji Temple
  • Have lunch in the area and then head over to Kyoto
  • Nintendo Museum (I wasn't sure where else to have this as our day in Kyoto seemed pretty packed)
  • Have dinner in Kyoto or head back to Osaka for dinner depending on how we feel

Day 3 – 11/4 – Kyoto

  • Fushimi Inari Shrine
  • Nishiki Market
  • Ninenzaka/Sannenzaka
  • Kiyomizudera for sunset
  • Pontocho Alley for dinner

Day 4 – 11/5 – Head to Tokyo

  • Shinkansen to Tokyo & check into hotel in Roppongi area
  • TeamLabs Borderless
  • Tokyo Tower
  • Grab food around the area – Roppongi/Azabudai/Shimbashi area – any recs for food?

Day 5 – 11/6 – Shibuya

  • Meiji Shrine & Yoyogi Park
  • Pokemon Center (if there's time) – not necessary
  • Takeshita Street & Omokado
  • Shibuya Sky
  • Shibuya Crossing
  • Dinner at Gyukatsu Motomura or Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu (Shibuya location)

Day 6 – 11/7 – Asakusa

  • Sensoji Temple (Kimono rental & pictures)
  • Nakamise Shopping Street & Hoppy Street
  • Ueno Park & Ameyoko Market
  • Dinner at Jambo Hanare

Day 7 – 11/8 – Shinjuku

  • Akasaka Station for Harry Potter Shop or the shop in Harajuku – which is better to go to?
  • Shinjuku Gyeon & Godzilla Head
  • Harakado & Takeshita Street (if didn't have enough time during Shibuya day)
  • Kabukicho/Golden Gai

Day 8 – Warner Bros Studio Tour

  • Warner Bros Studio Tour
  • Head back to hotel & nice omakase dinner (any recs?)
  • Maybe we could add something else on this day? But I was worried the studio tour would take up a good chunk of the day including travel

Day 9 – Shopping Day

  • Any last minute shopping/places we didn't get to check out on prior days
  • Pokemon Center & Cafe for lunch
  • Maybe take ferry from Asakusa to Odaiba? This felt a little weird here and I wasn't sure where to put this on the other days. Maybe on day 8 after the Warner Bros Tour? Our Asakusa day felt too packed to include this

Day 10 – Fly home
