Tips

If you’d like to extend your stay, consider adding a day trip to Hakone for hot‑spring baths that complement your beauty and wellness focus. To shorten the itinerary, you can combine Day 4 and Day 5 by visiting Ginza and Tsukiji on the same morning, and skip the Akihabara tech‑beauty day, allowing you to depart on Day 7 instead of Day 8.
