I would do Tsukiji on the morning of 27/04 so that you have all day at Disneyland.

Tokyo Tower won't be open yet, so perhaps you will wish to view Tokyo from a different spot? Tokyo Metropolitan Government Towers in Shinjuku is good (and free). Or Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills is also nice (not free).

29/04: check out hotel,last minute sighseeing at tokyo - osaka check in ryokan. sighseeing around
30/04: osaka- kyoto 1day trip to kyoto palace then
to daikakuji temple
01/05: check out osaka , last minute souviner


The rest looks fine. I assume you leave via Kansai Airport (Osaka)?

Enjoy your trip!

"I would do Tsukiji on the morning of 27/04 so that you have all day at Disneyland."

ok. we will consider that, as we want to enjoy disneyland a lot.

"Tokyo Tower won't be open yet, so perhaps you will wish to view Tokyo from a different spot? Tokyo Metropolitan Government Towers in Shinjuku is good (and free). Or Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills is also nice (not free)."

we thought of just taking a picture of tokyo tower as it is one of the landmark of tokyo. but, will consider going to shinjuku also as there is a restaurant that we want to go.

Since your visit overlaps with the first part of "Golden Week," a string of national holidays where people travel a lot, prepare for some congestion. Disneyland on April 28th (Sat.) sounds like it might be crowded.

Plan your days well - Tsukiji will be closed on 29th and 30th.

The older "Tokyo Tower" is open. I assume you mean the Tokyo Skytree that is not yet open?

Yes, Tokyo Sky Tree on my mind, so I was incorrect. Tokyo Tower will be open!
