I like your suggestion.
In September, I'm going to Tokyo for a week by myself for a business meeting in Minato-ku.
I'm staying in Shimbuya and have six free days to do whatever I want. I've received a lot of suggestions and offers for things to do but, I like the thought of just exploring with no real set itinerary.
I've done that while traveling through Europe and the U.S. before and had really enjoyable times.
I like to get off the beaten path and take photos.
I have some Japanese language skills and I'm taking further classes so, I'm hoping to be able to navigate myself around by the time I go.
I'm also hoping that because, I've been traveled previously to major populated cities (I've lived in Los Angeles and currently live in NYC) - that after the initial sensory overload feeling of being overwhelmed - I should be okay.
At least that's "My Plan".
