Tokyo
Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station
This day offers you the chance to get some fresh air and plenty of walking in case you had a long flight. The Imperial Palace is also a must-see for fans of history and it offers a stark contrast to the modern high rises all around. Traditional Japan meets the modern age in the Chiyoda district.
1-1 Chiyoda, Chiyoda City, Tokyo 100-8111, Japan
Highly recommended to walk or even run around the whole palace (about 5 km). However, please remember that the summers in Tokyo can get pretty hot and humid so early morning might be your best bet.
1 Chome-9 Marunouchi, Chiyoda City, Tokyo 100-0005, Japan
Very close to the Imperial Palace. This beautiful station offers culinary options as well as a variety of shops. During the summer you'll also find a place to escape the heat.
Tokyo
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tokyo
Asakusa - Tokyo's Old Town
Some of the oldest parts of Tokyo blended together with modern buildings, entertainment and the highest broadcasting tower in the world - Tokyo Skytree.
2-chōme-3-1 Asakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0032, Japan
Sensō-ji is the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo and pairs well with a visit to the Asakusa Shrine. It's one of the more popular areas to visit so we recommend early mornings or afternoons to avoid the biggest crowds.
1-chōme-36-3 Asakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0032, Japan
1-chōme-8-13 Nishiasakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0035, Japan
Sumida River, Tokyo, Japan
Take a break from the bustling city as you stroll along the famous Sumida River and its 37 individually designed bridges.
1-chōme-1-2 Oshiage, Sumida City, Tokyo 131-0045, Japan
Tokyo Skytree is the highest broadcasting tower in the world at 634m. There are two observation decks available to the public offering some of the best views of the Tokyo and its surroundings.

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
