Potentially a day trip to Kamakura or add extra attractions (below) not included. Breakfast before Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Tokyo Skytree (if haven't done Shibuya Sky previous day). Nakamise shopping street & Senso-Ji temple. Shibuya Sky at sunset OR a walking/food tour in Shibuya. 
Shibuya scramble with a coffee/breakfast & Hachiko Statue. Currently found Yakiniku LIKE or trying an Ichiran? I want to keep dinner easy as I'm worried I might be a zombie after the flight. Only plan is dinner (due to potential jet lag). Travel into Tokyo (Shibuya) after completing standard 'admin' (e.g sorting JR Pass, SIM card/WIFI) I am not a big drinker however I am OK to 'get involved' considering this is a rare holiday for me. As this will be my first solo trip to Japan, I am not sure what to expect for this part and also what it will be like going out alone. I am struggling to make decisions on what to do in the night time as a solo traveller (it is the part giving me the most anxiety currently). Underneath the itinerary is currently the additional activities I have not yet been able to slot in as I'm not sure of where would be best to put these.Īlso, you will notice that the evenings are very bare bones currently. Also worth knowing if any activities don't really make sense for someone on their own. Please feel free to criticise the plan as it stands and if you can, offer alternatives I can build on. Those will gradually grow once the order is locked in (e.g. It is also more a skeleton of the areas I'll be in rather than being specific with where I'll eat/shops I'll go to/activities etc. So far I have worked on the initial Tokyo leg which is below (although I do come back to Tokyo for one more full day at the end, I have already assigned that to the Sumo tournament which I'm hoping to get tickets for).Īs I am very loose with my plan so far, I am more than happy to rip up the itinerary or make major changes if it doesn't make sense logistically/is too packed/there are 'better' options with my time. I don't have as much of an interest in things like anime/manga etc hence not featuring much allotted time) 
Quick summary is I would be interested in cool buildings, food, views/nature, shrines/temples. I (33, male from the UK) am travelling to Japan for 16 days solo in May and have been looking at plenty of guides, itineraries and videos to try and help put something together which is a good mix for a first time visitor.
