We are more into food and shopping. Sight seeing is not a priority.

Are you gals or guys?
Interested in cute stuffs? If you are, there's many cute stuffs at character street at the basement of Tokyo station.
If you have extra time, you can try visiting the Nissin Cup Ramen museum at Yokohama (near Minato Mirai station) where you can customise your own Cup noodles. It's very fun, interesting, and not too expensive.

Into any anime? Here is my compilation of anime/cute shops and locations throughout Japan.Go Away, Sam...: Anime/Cute places in Japan

Itabashi is a really far place to stay. I guess this is your first trip to Tokyo/Japan? I know the station is on the Mita Line but having to change trains going to Shibuya, Shinjuku, Tsukiji?

 

[XHolyz]

We're bunch of guys haha. Looking more into mens clothings.

Yea, had to take the Toei Subway Mita Line.

since u are into shopping, u may wanna take note of ur schedule for day 3. harajuku itself could take more than half a day, as u are visiting meiji shrine and yoyogi park as well. and shinjuku is a major shopping place with huge departmental stores.

for the free day, how about going to odaiba? lots of malls there, such as venusfort, which have many fashion boutiques.

It is a waste to spent Sunday on the man made island of Odaiba... i rather they go Harajuku Takeshita Street first half of the day and afternoon go Ginza Chuo Street. If want to compare fashion shopping, Odaiba no match to Harajuku and Ginza combined.

that is true, odaiba is no fight in terms of shopping. but it has a good mix of sightseeing, activities and shopping. of course, odaiba can be visited on any day, leaving sunday for other places which are more happening such as harajukiu and akihabara. harajuku is happening on sunday for it cosplayers. but i didnt suggest that to TS as he didnt express interest in anime, so i just keep to wat TS already have planned.

I took the liberty to suggestively edit/add places into his original itinerary.

I got goosebum thinking of 3 men go yoyogi park for picnic...

Akihabara is more of a electronic district; the Gundam and Maid Cafe are interesting visit thou.

Stop by 1 of the outlets at either Yodobashi Camera or BIC Camera stores if you guys are into electronic stuffs. There are some interesting stuffs there. I bought my One Piece rechargeable batteries there.

I enjoy going to Megaweb in Odaiba. Part of the fun is taking the train across Rainbow bridge.

Yes they have loads of interesting stuffs that cannot be found in Singapore. It is like going into electronic wonderland. And with the tax refund, it is probably cheaper as well.

My friend lugged a mini-combo back from Tokyo. Yes, those players with 2 table top speakers and weight a few kg with packaging. And my friend is a girl some more. The same model only appeared in Singapore 2 years after, and a few hundred dollars more expensive.

 

[XHolyz]

Thanks all for the inputs!! Will do more research on the place you all recommend.
