Tokyo Itinerary 2014/8/27 05:04
Hi All,
I will be in Japan for the 2nd time in November and trying to make a plan. Last time I was Rail passing around but this time I will be in Tokyo 99% of the time.
Last year, I didn't do too much besides shopping and drinking with a friend while in Tokyo so wanted to make a plan :)

Ive tried to group things in to days (in no particular order) and wanted to ask for feedback as to if there is too much or too little on any one day or if something should be cut / added / moved about etc.

Excluding arrival and departure days I have 14 full days.

Thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions.

1) Ghibli Museum (i have a ticket already) // Inokashira Park / Kichijoji / Shinjuku Gov Building at night.

2) Yokohama - Chinatown, Minato Mirai - observatory, cosmo world, cup noodle museum, ramen museum (maybe kirin beer village - maybe sankeien garden)

3) Kamakura & Enoshima (K - Engakuji, Tokeji, Jochiji, Meegetsuin, Kenchoji, Tsurugaoka, Jupukuji, Hasedera, Giant Buddha, E - Enohsima Shrine & Iwaya Caves)

If you want more time off the city, and you haven't already been, you can go to Kawaguchiko / Fuji Q (if rolercoasters are your thing), Hike Mt. Takao and Nikko. If you like trains the Railway museum in Saitama is great and makes for a fun trip in one morning.

Thanks for the tips guys... I was thinking abotu kawaguchiko (not the theme park but the area) but someone told me it was pointless without a car?
As for Mt Takao I forgot that on the list, it was on my to do list, thanks for the reminder :D

Kawaguchiko is perfectly doable without a car. Just get there early and have in mind the bus timetable when you get around. It's beautiful and worth the trip :)
