dear all, appreciate if you can advise on this portion of itinerary for my japan trip

- is day 2 achievable? did i squeeze in too many places?
- does day 3 have too little places planned?
- having dilemma on day 1, i really want to visit Disney Sea but not sure if i would miss out much of the attractions in tokyo

thanks!


Rough Itinerary
---------------
Day 1:
Disney Sea

Day 2:
9am: Tsukiji fish market
10:30am: Tokyo Imperial Palace
11:30am: Meiji shrine
1pm: Harajuku > Shibuya > Shinjuku

Day 3:
9am: Asakusa (temples and street)
1pm: Ueno park
6pm: Akihabara


Day 4 to 7 would be mt fuji, kyoto, osaka (haven't planned the itenarary yet)

thanks for the response i'm staying near tsukiji.

i saw from the forum that unless i plan to join the auction, i can only visit after 9am, or can we watch from the side?

dear all, just to confirm, for the hakone free pass (odawara-hakone, 3900 yen), we can buy from Odakyu sightseeing center at Shinjuku right? or can we only buy from Odawara?

can we buy the pass a few days in advance?

thanks!

anyone tried city map 2go before? btw, it seems that the pro version is free until 23 feb~

what else? roponggi hill? still comtemplating whether to replace disney sea or not

question on souvenirs

I'm planning to buy small souvenirs when in Tokyo. Is it generally cheaper in Oriental Bazaar or Ameyoko street? I'm only going to each place once so hope if I can get any feedback on this.

thanks!
