Who is this resource for?
This is the perfect resource for any traveler feeling overwhelmed with planning a trip to Tokyo.
We created this Tokyo Planner to be totally customizable with 10 fully planned days you can pick and choose from and order however you want. Or you can follow our suggestion for all 10 days exactly as they are listed.
This itinerary is for you if you:
- have to have a bit of a sense of adventure
- love for authentic experiences
- want to see the iconic Tokyo sights
- want to avoid crowds
- seek out nature on your trips
- like traveling independently (not with tour groups)

What is the budget?
The hotels, experiences, and restaurants recommended are for those with a mid-range budget.
While Japan can get quite expensive, we’ve done our best to keep costs reasonable.
We’ve included a handful of worthy splurges, but have mostly stuck with mid-range prices.
How much physical activity does this itinerary require?
The itinerary includes a decent amount of walking in and around Tokyo.
That said, regardless of the type of trip you’re taking, you will be walking a lot in Japan. (This is true whether you’re staying only in big cities or following a route our hidden gems itinerary that includes some nature walks and hikes.)
What time of year can I follow this itinerary?
This itinerary can be followed just about any time of the year.
Spring or Fall:
These seasons are optimal and everything on this itinerary should be accessible.
Summer:
Summer is very hot and humid, so it’s not our personal favorite season to visit Japan, but most things on this itinerary should be accessible. Note that some hikes may be uncomfortable in the heat or during typhoon season.
Winter:
Winter in Tokyo shows an entirely different side to the city, and can be a great time to visit. It is the perfect time for onsen soaks, snow monkeys, and you could even add skiing to your Japan itinerary.
What if I have less than 10 days in Tokyo?
This Tokyo Planner is designed to be interchangeable. So you can pick and choose which days and which order you prefer to explore Tokyo.
What is your return policy?
Since this is a digital download and we cannot revoke access to it, we have a no refund policy.
For this reason, we have made it incredibly affordable.
We stand by this product 100% and have put countless hours into putting it together for you. We are confident that this will be extremely helpful in planning your trip.
The itinerary includes various easy to moderate level hikes, but nothing too demanding or requiring extra gear.
