Build with Macaron
Macaron, I'm planning to go from San Francisco to Tokyo from October 3rd to 10th. This is my first time in Japan, I'm super excited but also a bit nervous, not sure how to arrange the itinerary to make the most of it.
I want to deeply experience Japanese culture, not just visit those internet-famous spots for photos. I hope to go to places locals love, like traditional shrines, historic neighborhoods, and those hidden gems in alleys. Of course, I also want to see classic places like Sensoji Temple and Ginza.
Can you help me create a complete 7-day Tokyo guide? I want detailed daily schedules - where to go in the morning, afternoon, and what to eat in the evening. Also, how to use transportation most conveniently, whether JR Pass is worth buying - I don't understand these things.
Oh, and I really care about food! I want to try authentic sushi, ramen, and I'm also curious about izakaya culture. I have no concept of budget either, so please help me estimate costs for accommodation, dining, transportation, and tickets.
Also, I heard Japanese etiquette is very important, so please tell me some cultural customs I need to pay attention to, so I don't embarrass myself.
