📍 Itinerary Overview Dinner - Shin Udon Shopping - Mitsui Outlet Mall Iruma Play - DisneySea 🚇 Transportation Train - Icoca/suica card. IOS can add directly in apple pay. Android users can purchase and top up the card at stations. super super useful. 🏠 Accommodation 1.Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo Ikebukuro 3.5/5 Clean and basic but slightly far from most attractions and super confusing station. 1. Address - Shin Udon Highlights - overrated. queued up an hour for this. Most Udon in Tokyo are as good. Rating - 3/5 2. Mitsui Outlet Mall Iruma Highlights - Mostly locals. good vibes but the bigger brands like Balenciaga or onitsuka are not here. Things are rather cheap though with direct tax refund Rating - 4/5 3. DisneySea Highlights - Was unlucky enough to have rain and snow the whole day there. but it is still fun and magical! Download the Disneyland app before going. Rating - 4/5 #tokyo #shop #eat #japan

🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: It's a pretty modest museum, but the interior is quite spacious. The admission fee is reasonable at 200 yen.
