Day 1 : Harajuku, Shibuya, Shinjuku, (Free Time)
Locations are near to one another to minimise travelling on first day.
Day 2 : Tsukiji Fish Market, Asakusa, Odaiba
Start the day with the best sushi at Tsukiji Fish Market, followed by a walk through Ginza to travel to Asakusa. For first timer, it is recommended to try the water bus from Asakusa to Odaiba!
Day 3 : Kawaguchiko, (Free Time)
Lake Kawaguchiko, one of Fuji’s five lakes to enjoy stunning views of Mt. Fuji. Recommended to do a detailed research and start the day early for the day trip to Kawaguchiko. We also visited the Chureito Pagoda which is a 5 storied pagoda on a hilltop facing Mt. Fuji, be prepared for stairs!

Take the Shinkansen to Osaka (fastest way) and enjoy the rest of the day roaming around Dotonbori area.
Day 5 : Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Fushimi Inari Taisha, (Free Time)
Recommended to start Arashiyama Bamboo Forest as early as possible to take stunning photographs before the massive crowd arrives. Followed by Fushimi Inari Taisha, the famed tunnel of a thousand tore gates. Enjoy the rest of the day at Kyoto, Gion is recommended but we missed it unfortunately.
