Leaving this Sunday. Super excited! I've never been outside North America before. I've been trying to brush up on some very basic Japanese, but this trip is very last minute all things considered. Here's the itinerary we have figured out. We have tickets for Disney, Ghibli Museum, Robot Restaurant and Hakone train tickets, but a lot of it is still pretty loose. First 5 nights are in Shinjuku and last 4 are in Shibuya. What do you guys think in terms of getting our stuff (mostly just two large suitcases) between hotels? Just take the train? Also, I just need some good video game stores to explore.
