Tokyo, Japan | A city where classical and modern blend perfectly

🗺️Three-day Tokyo itinerary: Day1 Arrive in Tokyo - Ginza - Shinjuku - Shibuya Day2 Senso-ji Temple - Akihabara - Ebisu - Ebisu Garden Place Viewing Platform Day3 Meiji Shrine - Harajuku - Shopping in Shibuya - Return trip 1️⃣ Ginza A well-known shopping district in Tokyo, filled with luxury brands and select shops. The multi-story Uniqlo and GU are great for shopping – you can find clothes and bags at various price points. Tried a dipping noodle shop nearby, and it was really delicious! 2️⃣ Shinjuku You can get off at Shinjuku Station or Shinjuku-sanchome Station. It's also a shopping district, but the nightlife here is richer with many bars and restaurants that stay open late. The famous Shinjuku Ni-chome is worth a visit. 3️⃣ Shibuya The must-visit Shibuya Crossing is the busiest intersection. It wasn't as shocking as I imagined, but still very bustling. The nearby Shibuya Sky is a great spot for views, but check the weather beforehand as the escalators and outdoor sections may be closed due to weather conditions. 4️⃣ Senso-ji Temple There are many foreign tourists, and it feels very commercialized. The Kaminarimon gate at the entrance is a must-visit. Inside, you can draw fortune sticks – remember to tie the bad fortunes to the railings and not take them with you. It's interesting, and many say Senso-ji Temple is very spiritual. 5️⃣ Akihabara A must-visit for fans of anime! There are super many shops selling anime figures and merchandise, and you'll see many cute cosplayers on the streets. If you're not into anime, it might not impress you as much. 6️⃣ Ebisu Garden If I were to recommend a place in Tokyo for free high-rise sightseeing, I would definitely suggest the 36th floor of the Ebisu Garden Place Tower. First, it's tourist-friendly and open to everyone. Second, there's no admission fee. There are also a few scenic restaurants up there, which feel very atmospheric and are not too expensive. 7️⃣ Meiji Shrine A shrine with a great atmosphere, lots of greenery, large lawns, and trees. There's a large torii gate inside, and you can also draw fortunes and amulets. The best part is that the fortunes here are not as clearly good or bad as those at Senso-ji Temple. Instead, they give you a phrase to ponder, which is quite friendly – you can make a wish and pray for blessings here. 8️⃣ Harajuku Adjacent to Omotesando, street culture is prevalent. There are many trendy shops and boutiques nearby. Compared to the crowded Shibuya, it feels more relaxed and peaceful here. 9️⃣ Tokyo Tower & Skytree Here are two recommended photo spots: for Tokyo Tower, choose the intersection near Tamachi Station; for Skytree, the entrance of Asakusa Station subway is a great spot.
