Yanaka — sights morning, food afternoon
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.

Shrine根津神社One of Tokyo's oldest shrines, with vermilion halls, a tunnel of small torii gates climbing the hillside, and a famous azalea garden that blazes in late April. Grounds are free; the azalea garden charges a small fee during the festival. Hours shorten in winter.

Nakameguro & Daikanyama — sights morning, shopping afternoon
Tokyo's most stylish low-rise quarter: the willow-and-cherry-lined Meguro River with its canal-side cafés (peak magic in late-March blossom season), the book-lover's Daikanyama T-Site, and a slow drift of design shops, roasteries and bistros. A grown-up, unhurried day.
- 09:0009:301Park西郷山公園
A small hillside park above the river with a grassy slope, a little waterfall and a west-facing terrace that catches the sunset over the city — a quiet pause a few minutes from the Nakameguro bustle.

Asakusa — 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.

Harajuku & Meiji Jingu — sights morning, food afternoon
A study in contrasts: the vast forested Meiji Shrine and Yoyogi Park on one side, and the teen-fashion frenzy of Takeshita Street with the upscale boutiques of Omotesando on the other. Shrine in the morning, shopping and crepes after.
