  1. Touchdown in Tokyo

    Welcome to Japan! After clearing customs, grab your JR Pass or Suica card. We’re heading straight into the city to drop bags.

    • Narita International Airport

    • Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

      Start slow. This massive park is a mix of French, English, and Japanese gardens—perfect for shaking off jet lag before the Shinjuku crowds hit you.

    • Omoide Yokocho

      Finish your first night in "Memory Lane." It’s a tiny alleyway packed with yakitori stalls. Grab a stool, order some grilled chicken skewers, and soak in the old-school Tokyo atmosphere.

  2. Old Meets New Tokyo

    Tokyo’s oldest temple in Asakusa. Walk through the Kaminarimon Gate and browse the Nakamise-dori stalls for freshly baked *senbei* (rice crackers).

    • Akihabara Electric Town

      A complete 180-degree turn into anime, gaming, and multi-story electronics shops. Even if you aren't a gamer, the sensory overload is a Tokyo "must."

    • Shibuya Crossing

      Cap the day by walking the world’s busiest intersection. Head up to the Shibuya Sky observatory for a sunset view that’ll show you just how massive this city is. [139.7013, 35.6585]
