Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting Asakusa, a traditional district with Sensoji Temple and Nakamise shopping street, or Harajuku, known for its fashionable boutiques and crepes. If you have less time, skip Ghibli Museum or Oedo Onsen Monogatari. Try experiencing Tokyo's public transportation by taking the Yamanote Line, the most convenient circle train line that stops at major tourist spots in Tokyo. Avoid going to popular places during peak hours and check the opening and closing times before visiting. Dress comfortably and wear comfortable shoes to walk and stand for long periods of time.
