Seem rushed. Bear in mind that you have to give time allowance for clearing immigration, collection of your checked in luggage, wait for train, 1hr odd train ride from Narita Airport to Tokyo, and then train ride to your hotel. So by the time you check in at your hotel, it would be about 1pm. You probably will have to give up 1 of those 4 places.

18 Oct 13
Asakusa - Asakusa Shrine, Sensoji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree
Akihabara
Doable, if you don't take too much time shopping at Tokyo Skytree's shopping mall.

19 Oct 13
Harajuku + Shibuya - Yoyogi Park, Meiji Shrine, Ropponggi, Tokyo Tower
Tokyo Tower closes quite early. Take note of its operation timings if you really aim to go to Tokyo Tower after Shibuya. For me, I could only do Harajuku + Shibuya in 1 day. I couldn't fit in yoyoji park + meiji shrine + ropponggi + tokyo tower as well on the same day as Harajuku + Shibuya.

20 Oct 13
Odaiba + ???
Maybe go Yokohama's Nissin Cup noodle museum in the morning, then Chinatown for early lunch, and then go to Odaiba from afternoon until evening?

21 Oct 13
Mount Fuji + Gotemba (If possible)
Not sure how to go Mount Fuji, any recommended tour to go both Mount Fuji and Gotemba?

22 Oct

Mt Fuji info click through below
Mount Fuji

I would suggest that you try Gotemba with Hakone... you intend to go there for the outlet mall?

Thanks Samtcy & cancer81.

@cancer81 - Not sure if it's worth it to go Gotemba outlet mall. There's mixed review to that place. But I will be going Mount Fuji. The previous time I went I was just at the bottom (kawaguchi Bus Station) and basically a touch and go trip..

I am going Yasukuni out of curiosity. I want to see why it's such a controversial place first hand.

I've been to Gotemba premium outlet, and I find the things there aren't exactly cheap.

Yup. I have decided not to go gotemba outlet alrdy. Thought the place will be cheap like london bicester village. Haha.. Planning to book a day tour to Mount Fuji now. Plus fit in to go Yasukuni Shrine.

Bump. Anymore input? Appreciate your comment. Thanks
