Apologies for the poor mobile formatting. It's our first time visiting Japan and I'd appreciate some advice or a sanity check on a very barebones itinerary. We are an early 30s couple interested in history, art/design, nightlife (to an extent), thrifting, and food. We're in the early stages of planning so any advice is appreciated! Flights into and out of Narita have already been booked.
