Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a day trip to nearby Yokohama for its Chinatown and the Cup Noodles Museum, or explore the tranquil gardens of Koishikawa Korakuen. To shorten the itinerary, combine Day 2’s Asakusa visit with Day 5’s Tsukiji market (both are in the same general area) and replace one evening activity with a quick stroll in the nearby Ueno Park. Using a prepaid Suica or Pasmo card speeds up transit, and purchasing tickets for TeamLab attractions and DisneySea online in advance saves waiting time.
