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.

Four two-hour sessions run daily; book ahead, evening slots can sell out a week or more in advance.

A sleek Kazuyo Sejima-designed museum devoted to Katsushika Hokusai, who was born and worked in this district — home to 'The Great Wave' prints and a recreated studio. Closed Mondays (the next day if Monday is a holiday).
The spiritual home of sumo, hosting the January, May and September grand tournaments — buy tournament tickets well ahead. Outside tournament season the small free Sumo Museum inside opens on weekdays; the surrounding streets hold many stables.
A small, free Edo-era strolling garden built around a tide-fed pond, with a teahouse and seasonal colour a minute from the Kokugikan. A quiet breather between sumo and museum stops; hours shorten in winter.
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.

The kakigori shop that helped spark Tokyo's craft shaved-ice boom — seasonal fruit syrups over fluffy ice. Hours shift with the seasons and it closes when sold out; check their X (@himitsudo_) before making the trip.
Nakameguro & Daikanyama & nearby — 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.

The bronze of the loyal dog who waited years for his owner — Tokyo's classic meeting spot, by the Shibuya station exit named after him.
The world's busiest pedestrian scramble — hundreds cross at once under giant screens. Watch from the Starbucks above or the station walkway; best after dark.
The cylindrical fashion landmark by the crossing — floors of trend-driven young women's brands. A Shibuya icon as much as a mall.
A high-tech sushi diner where you order on a touchscreen and plates whizz to your seat on express tracks — most plates are very cheap and there's no language barrier. Genuinely fun with kids; can be busy but turnover is fast.
Harajuku & Meiji Jingu & nearby — sights morning, shopping 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.
