Tokyo in 3 Days —
Temples, Sushi & Neon Streets

Who Is This Tokyo Itinerary For?

Tokyo works for food lovers, tech and anime fans, culture seekers, solo travellers and photographers. A city of beautiful contradictions — serene temples beside buzzing arcades, traditional tea ceremonies alongside robot restaurants. Tokyo has more Michelin stars than any city in the world, and is consistently ranked the world's safest major city.

Why Tokyo in 3 Days?

Three days lets you experience Tokyo's essential neighbourhoods, taste incredible food at every price point, and understand why this megacity captivates millions of visitors each year — from ancient Asakusa to futuristic Shibuya.

Day 1: Traditional Tokyo

Start at Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple, walking through the Thunder Gate and Nakamise Shopping Street before the crowds arrive. Head to Tokyo Skytree for 360° views — on clear days you can see Mount Fuji. In the evening, an authentic izakaya in Asakusa for yakitori, edamame and sake.

Day 2: Modern Tokyo

Tsukiji Outer Market for the freshest sushi breakfast imaginable, then peaceful Hamarikyu Gardens for a tea ceremony. Experience Shibuya Crossing, the world's busiest intersection, and Meiji Shrine in neighbouring Harajuku. In the evening, Shinjuku's neon streets, Golden Gai's tiny bars and Memory Lane's yakitori alleys.

Day 3: Culture & Tech

Stroll the Imperial Palace East Gardens, then Ginza for upscale shopping. Choose TeamLab Borderless for mind-bending digital art, or Akihabara for anime, manga and electronics. End at Roppongi Hills — the Mori Art Museum and Sky Deck for sunset views with Tokyo Tower illuminated in the distance.

Tokyo Hidden Gems

Yanaka — old Tokyo that survived the bombings, winding lanes and free-roaming cats. Shimokitazawa — Tokyo's indie heartland, vintage shops and live music. Nakameguro — a canal lined with boutique cafes, spectacular in cherry blossom season. Golden Gai, Shinjuku — a maze of 200+ tiny themed bars. Kagurazaka — former geisha district turned Franco-Japanese neighbourhood. Odaiba at sunset — Rainbow Bridge, the Gundam statue and the TeamLab Borderless museum.
