Hi everyone. This is my second time in Tokyo and I am very excited. I visited in November and did a good bit of touristy stuff like Senso-ji, Skytree, Meiji Jingu, Tokyo National Museum, Akihabara, Shibuya. Goal for this trip is to explore some new places and go back to places I didn’t finish exploring.
I am looking for all feedback and recs. What districts would be the best to combine/separate? Are some days too packed/too empty? I’m worried about Yokohama particularly because it seems like a lot. Are the hikes in Kamakura difficult?
Thank you!
