Itinerary

1. Ueno Park, located in Ueno, is the first park ever established in Tokyo. Enjoy the beautiful nature and visit the shrines within the park to experience Japan’s rich history. You can also see beautiful cherry blossoms! Near the park, there’s a local market with lots of small shops. It’s not like Shibuya with all the latest stores, but that’s exactly the charm of Ueno—you can feel a more authentic side of Japan. You can try some street food, pick up souvenirs, or just enjoy a walk around the area.

3. This museum is not just about looking at exhibits — it’s a fun place where you can actually feel like you’ve time-traveled to Tokyo 400 years ago.

4. Shibuya is home to the world-famous Scramble Crossing, where around 3,000 people cross at the same time. T here’s a Pokémon Center and a Nintendo store here. Even if you’re not into games, these shops are fun to explore and enjoy just by looking around.

7. Nakano is right next to Shinjuku, but unlike the major tourist spots, it’s more of a neighborhood where locals gather. You won’t find cutting-edge shopping here—but that’s exactly its charm. The area is full of local shops, cozy cafés, and casual restaurants, always bustling with people who live nearby. These days, Nakano is famous as a hub for subculture.

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
