Tokyo Girls

The best part about the trip was how organized it was. We got to almost all the destinations, and only scrapped the last day because most of us were running low on funds. We barely got lost, and did activities that were well-varied and well-researched. I'm pretty proud of my itinerary , but we also had Julez as official map-reader and Joyce as official translator.

For anyone thinking of a week-long trip to Tokyo and staying in the busy hub of things, this was my itinerary. The times were personalized to our own schedule.
