Hello! My husband and I are spending 12 full days in Japan. We are splitting our time in the Kansai (Kinki) and Kanto regions equally. This is the itinerary I drew out for the second part of our trip, the Kanto half.
Please let me know if you see any obvious flaws or have any suggestions. Thank you!

FRIDAY
Greater Tokyo - Pass by Arashio-beya to try to get glimpse of Sumo practice, Sumo Museum @ Kokugikan Sumo Stadium, Edo-Tokyo Museum (was contemplating National Museum but it doesn't fit into my other days, what do you guys think? must do? I don't even know where I would fit it though, don't think I would replace it with Edo-Tokyo Museum because it's in the area and I really want to go), free time, Skytree in the evening
