For a more relaxed pace, add a half‑day on Day 4 for Odaiba’s waterfront parks and consider a night‑time boat cruise on Tokyo Bay. Extending your stay by a few extra days lets you explore surrounding areas such as Kawasaki's Daishi-ji Temple or a day trip to Yokohama’s Chinatown for a broader food experience.
