Day 1
Shibuya - Possibly the most iconic place in Tokyo
Shibuya is home to one of the largest pedestrian crossings in the world. It can be packed with people - locals and visitors alike. But this day offers you the opportunity to walk into the surrounding neighbourhoods and explore some of the less known areas of Shibuya.
1. Shibuya Crossing
21 Udagawacho, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0042, Japan
The crossing can get quite crowded, especially during rush hour. Prices around the crossing can also be a bit inflated so if you are looking to do some shopping it might be good to walk around and browse before making a decision. This however is a must-take photo opportunity.
2. Cat Street
Cat St, 3-chōme-18 Jingūmae, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
Very cute little shopping street with lots of fun shops and vintage clothing stores. Here you can immerse in the local fashion trends.
3. Omotesando Hills
4-chōme-12-10 Jingūmae, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0001, Japan
Omotesando is one of the more expensive parts of Tokyo and the shops here are high end. Have a walk around, perhaps with some shopping included, and enjoy the interesting architecture of the area.
4. TRUNK(HOTEL)
5-chōme-32-31 Jingūmae, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0001, Japan
After some potential shopping and definitely plenty of walking the Trunk Hotel is a great place to sit down and grab a cup of coffee or even a drink. Seats are available outside as well as indoors and the views are quite beautiful.

9. Yamato Transport Ginza 2-chome Center
Japan, 〒104-0061 Tokyo, Chuo City, Ginza, 2-chōme−12−１８ 銀座本社ビル Ｂ棟
Before heading to Hokkaido, it is super convenient to send the luggage with Yamato to your next hotel. That way you don't have to drag your luggage around Tokyo. You simply board your flight and the luggage will be waiting for you at your destination. You can find Yamato services in their stores, like this one in Ginza, some convenience stores, hotels and on TripToJapan as well, see details in my Instagram Reel: instagram.com/triptojapan_/reel/DVOHoppks4T
