Going to Tokyo next week, here’s our itinerary:
Day 01 - arrival (afternoon), shibuya, donki , and golden guy
Day 02 - Disneyland
Day 03 - tsukiji market, temple, and teamlab
Day 04 - mt fuji, and ski
Day 05 - free day or harry potter
Day 06 - Free day/Departure (night)
Just wanted to ask if there are any non-obvious things we should take note of?
edit: I’ll add some more information.
We’ll be travelling in a big group (16+) and we’d prefer to not move hotels.
The itinerary is kind of empty because we’d probably spend a longer amount of time than usual in every spot because of how big our group is.
Personally, I prefer food, some sightseeing, and shopping (thrift and souvenir shopping) which I’ll probably do on the free day. (I was thinking somewhere along the lines of Shimokitazawa?)
I’ll add:
~~1. Are there any Horse Racing Tracks where we can watch near Tokyo? (is it open on weekends?) ~~ I found Tokyo Racecourse and OI Racecourse.
- Do I need to book tickets for the Horse Race Tracks ahead of time?
Non-obvious connectivity, because you are 16 people who will split (Disneyland vs Shimokitazawa):
One pocket Wi-Fi brick is one SSID. Fine in a hotel room. Useless when half the group is in a different park. Returning it is a second airport queue.
Per-phone eSIM is the boring answer if the group splits. Checkout I copied 2026-08-29 (re-check before paying): Airalo Japan 7d 5GB $10 / 10GB $17; “unlimited” 7d $27 is FUP 3GB/24h then ~1 Mbps. Holafly 7d $27.50, hotspot 1GB/day. Ubigi 10GB/7d $14 on Docomo.
Also: eSIM is not Suica. Welcome Suica Mobile is JR East, 180 days, no refund (as of March 2026). Most US/EU Android still cannot tap. Plastic IC cards for a group of 16 are simpler than hoping Wallet works.
