Hey everyone. First post here, so go easy on me haha.
Would be my second trip to Tokyo around mid April, but would be bringing a friend who has never been there this time.
We will not be visiting Hakone/Mt Fuji and etc.
My rough itinerary as below :

Day 1

- Reach Narita airport around 2pm. Taking the Narita express to Shinjuku. Haven't booked hotel, so any recommendations would be appreciated. Budget
RM300-350/night
- Will spend the evening and night walking and eating around Shinjuku

Day 2

- Shibuya
- Harajuku

Day 3

- Asakusa
- Akihabara
- Ueno(if time permits)
- Ginza

Day 4

- Odaiba
- Roponggi

Day 5

- Free and easy

Day 6

- 4.30pm flight back


It is a pretty breezy and no rush kind of trip. i'm aware of day/side trips in Nikko and Yokohama which we could slot into day 4/5, if we want.

Basically, i would like to ask the sifus here for recommendations on onsen(would avoid Ooedo-Onsen-Monogatari cause it's more mainstream imo) and food(sushi,yakiniku,wagyu/kobe beef) Not looking for those high end and need booking kind of sushi meal though. Think a range of 6-8k yen would be awesome enough haha. Previously ate at Sushi Daiwa and it was unforgettable.

For now, i've found Uogashi Nihon Ichi, Shunkashuutou, Sushi Hirose and Tsugu Sushimasa which looks good to me
i know the last 2 is more exp but if it's worth it, then why not.

Any help/comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Just trying my luck, anyone in Tokyo tomorrow willing to assist to buy 1 Bape hoodie? Haha. Cheers.

Thank you and appreciate your tips! Was lowkey waiting for your reply tbh lol.
Will play around with the itinerary on Day 3. Wanted to skip Odaiba, but since we have some time, was thinking we could catch the night view.
Yea def will go Ameyoko if we are at Ueno. Been there previously, and it's like snacking every 10mins haha.
Noted on the sushi joint, looks more than decent and worth trying.

I have narrowed down my hotel choices(Shinjuku) to Hotel Granbell and Hotel Gracery. Thoughts or anyone has any experience to share?

@sweet_pez, Appreciate the additional tips!

@deodorant, Yea i'm aware of the onsen in Odaiba. Was looking for one that is less mainstream/popular to avoid crowd. Cheers

Patiently waiting for sweet_pez's update on the 7 days Tokyo itinerary

Would be spring in mid March at Tokyo. Tolerance is subjective though.

But imo, a normal hoodie/windbreaker would be sufficient. At worst, get a few heattech from Uniqlo and wear as inner layer
