Asakusa & nearby — a sights day
Old downtown Tokyo: the Senso-ji temple and its Nakamise souvenir street, rickshaws, traditional sweets, and Tokyo Skytree rising across the river. The city's most atmospheric, lower-cost quarter — best early before the crowds.

Tokyo Disney Resort (Maihama) — a sights day
Japan's Disney twin-park resort, a short train ride east of central Tokyo: the classic Tokyo Disneyland and the world-unique, nautical Tokyo DisneySea, plus the Ikspiari mall and resort hotels. Each park is a full day on its own — buy dated tickets ahead and pick one per visit.

Alternatives for Day 2
Swap something out, or add another verified stop nearby — 2 available
A large Disney merchandise store beside Maihama Station, open to everyone without a park ticket — the easiest place to grab souvenirs if you're short on park time. Busy right after park closing.
The resort's free-entry shopping-and-dining complex between Maihama Station and the parks — shops, restaurants and a cinema, no park ticket needed. Handy for a meal or a rainy hour before or after the parks.
Yanaka & nearby — a sights day
Old 'shitamachi' Tokyo that survived the war and the bubble: temple-lined lanes, a cherry-blossom cemetery, the wisteria-famous Nezu Shrine, and the nostalgic Yanaka Ginza shopping street with its cats, croquettes and traditional sweets. The city at walking pace.
