Ep 126: Tokyo on Points: How We Fit So Much Into Two Nights (And What I'd Change)

You packed a samurai sword, wrestled a sumo wrestler, and still made it to the airport with time for a Seven Eleven snack run. This is Tokyo, two half days, one full day, and everything we loved.

In This Episode You'll Learn

✔ How we used Hyatt points plus a suite upgrade award at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo — and why the location in Shinjuku is underrated

✔ What Takeshita Street is actually like (the food, the toy capsule stores, the crowds) and what we'd go back to try

✔ Where to find the Pokémon Center and Nintendo Store in Shibuya and why Google Maps might make you feel like you're lost when you're actually right there

✔ Why I'd skip Momo Paradise for our family and what I'd book instead

✔ The free view of Shibuya Crossing you probably don't know about

✔ Where to buy cheap luggage in Tokyo if you over-souvenir'd (Shibuya Baggage Outlet vs. Donki)

✔ Why we chose TeamLab Borderless over Planets, and the honest breakdown of the difference between the two

✔ Our absolute favorite meal of the trip: conveyor belt sushi at Sushiro

✔ What to do in Shinjuku at night, the 3D cat, godzilla, light projection show, the eight-level arcade, photo booths, and Loft (go before 7pm!)

✔ The Senso-ji Temple morning, the fortune ritual, and the tea utensil shop that was worth every minute
