I'm planning a 5-day solo trip to Tokyo and gathered a lot of suggestions/recommendations. I had AI sort an outlined itinerary grouped based on feasible location traveling. I plan to have a few things that I will definitely do, but also leave time to just roam around freely. Would love to gather opinions on the reasonableness and structure of this plan:
Day 1 (Arrival)
- Check-in → Evening in Shibuya: Shibuya Crossing, Hachiko statue, dinner (ramen/izakaya).
Day 2 – Shibuya/Harajuku Cluster
- Morning: Meiji Shrine (peaceful before crowds).
- Midday: Takeshita Dori → Omotesando shops/cafés.
- Afternoon: Yoyogi Park.
- Evening: Back to Shibuya (explore + casual dinner).
Day 3 – Asakusa/Ueno
- Morning: Senso-ji Temple + Nakamise-dori (street snacks + charms).
- Afternoon: Ueno Park → Tokyo National Museum.
- Late Afternoon: Yanaka for retro streets + sweets.
- Dinner: Izakaya in Kanda or Akabane (local vibe).
Day 4 – Central Tokyo (Ginza/Tsukiji/Imperial Palace)
- Morning: Tsukiji Outer Market sushi crawl.
- Midday: Walk Imperial Palace grounds.
- Afternoon: Ginza (shopping + standing sushi).
- Evening: Shinjuku depachika dinner → Metropolitan Gov Building views → Golden Gai nightlife.
Day 5 – Departure Day (Flight 6 PM)
- Morning: Shimokitazawa (thrifting + coffee)
- Early lunch: Depachika bento (for gifts + airport snack).
