Day 1
29/12/2026
Arrive and exhale in Tokyo — Odaiba Waterfront

Focus: Arrival & settle Day notes: Aim to reach the stay before dark; pick up essentials nearby (water/snacks). Keep today light: hydrate, a short orientation walk, and an early night. Anchor: Tokyo. Keep the pace gentle—one good moment beats ten rushed ones. Trip notes: If something feels rushed, we’ll skip it. The goal is to come back rested, not exhausted. Weather can change plans—this itinerary has flexible slots on purpose.
