We just did this tour in May. We arrived two days early and spent one day at Tokyo Disney-Sea. It's easy to take the train from the hotel Shangri-la. It is very different from Disney World in the US. We spent the second free day in the Ginza district. It's an easy walk from the hotel. There is great shopping there and a unique bookstore that our TD recommended seeing. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in the Ginza area. Our TD had suggested a soba restaurant near the bookstore. There are also a lot of great shopping and restaurants in the train station. We found a great little ramen place there. Our TD suggested we go to the one with the longest line and it was delicious. If you like sushi, there are plenty to choose from. One fun one that we tried was the Kurt revolving sushi train. It was average sushi, but worth the experience. I hope you enjoy the trip as much as we did. The TD is also a great resources for things to do and finding places to eat. Enjoy your trip.
Explore the underground city below Tokyo Station.
If you like dogs, first see the movie Hatchi, a dog, the go to Shibuya to see the memorial to him. It is also an easy area to walk around
We are on the Oct 28 tour also, coming in a day early - also looking for something to do close to the hotel.
