Tips

If you need more time to explore the beauty wholesale districts, consider adding an extra day in Shinagawa or Ginza and skipping one of the farther attractions like Tokyo Skytree. Conversely, if your schedule is tight, you can combine the Akihabara and Asakusa visits into a single half‑day and focus the remaining time on the core Shibuya‑Shinjuku shopping experience.
