In just seven days, I’ll show you how to fill your suitcase (and photo album!) with memories that will last a lifetime.
My first day in Tokyo was a whirlwind of excitement! I started by exploring Azabudai, one of the city’s newest buildings, where I was captivated by the innovative art installation at teamLab. After indulging my creative side, I treated myself to a perfect coffee break at Verve Cafe.
Next, I ventured into Ginza, renowned for its upscale shopping scene, where I couldn’t resist exploring the high-end stores. With shopping checked off my list, I craved some local flavor and headed to the Tsukiji Outer Market for a delectable lunch.
As the evening descended, I returned to Roppongi to behold the iconic Tokyo Tower, its majestic silhouette illuminated against the night sky. To cap off the day, I immersed myself in the vibrant nightlife of Roppongi, hopping from bar to bar, where I enjoyed free drinks and cheap entrance fees. For added convenience, I grabbed some beverages from a nearby convenience store. It was the perfect end to an exhilarating day!
Next on my itinerary was all about experiencing the unique vibes of Harajuku and Shibuya! I started off in Harajuku, where I couldn’t resist snapping some fun pictures in a Japanese photo booth (purikura, they’re so cute!). Feeling like a champion after winning a prize at an arcade (gotta love those Japanese game centers!), I headed to Shibuya for the highlight of the day – watching the sunset from Shibuya Sky. The view of the city all lit up was absolutely amazing! To finish off the day, I treated myself to a delicious bowl of Ichiran Ramen – seriously good stuff!
Day 3 was dedicated to exploring the vibrant shopping scene of Shinjuku and Omotesando. A much-needed caffeine fix from &t Cafe Omotesando fueled my thrifting adventure! I had a blast digging through the racks and scoring some unique finds. Lunch was a delicious and fun sushi train experience, perfect for trying a variety of dishes. The energy and diverse offerings in these areas were awesome – it was a truly memorable way to spend the day!
Tokyo Disney Resort, my happy place, totally lived up to the hype! Truly a place where dreams come true. On Day 4, I spent the day at Disneyland. Seeing Cinderella’s castle and the Beauty and the Beast castle in person was amazing, like stepping into a storybook. Of course, I had to try the Mickey Mouse waffle (so good!), and the night parade was incredible – it really got me emotional!
Day 5 was all about DisneySea, a whole new world of adventures. I saw Ariel’s world at the Little Mermaid Lagoon, explored Aladdin’s castle, and even got to play in Toy Story Land! The Green Alien Mochi was a delicious treat, and the night parade here was just as magical as the one at Disneyland. It was the perfect ending to a perfect Disney adventure!
Day 6 was all about soaking up some Japanese tradition! I rented a kimono and wandered through Sensō-ji Temple in Asakusa. It was a beautiful place, and I snapped tons of pictures. I also tried some delicious Okonomiyaki for lunch. Later, I headed to Tokyo Skytree – it’s so tall, it’s unbelievable!
My last day started early with a trip to the giant Don Quijote store in Asakusa. It was quiet in the morning, so it was the perfect time to do some shopping. Finally, it was time to say goodbye to Tokyo. I left for Narita Airport with a suitcase full of souvenirs and a heart full of amazing memories.
