Where to stay
Shinjuku
Useful for a broad transport network and evening choices. Check the station exit and walking route carefully.
Ueno or Asakusa area
Good for an eastern-city focus. Compare airport connections and the journeys to your planned western districts.
Getting around
Use trains and the subway for longer trips, with a map that shows the correct exit. Different operators and services can have different ticket arrangements; check before assuming a pass covers everything.
A flexible itinerary
Use these three days as a starting point. Add arrival, departure or excursion days to fit your stay.
Eastern Tokyo
Start around Asakusa, then choose a nearby museum, park or food area. Keep the day in this part of the city instead of adding a distant evening landmark.
Western neighbourhoods
Explore Shibuya and one nearby district in depth. Choose a café or shopping stop for a proper break, then stay local for dinner.
A personal-interest day
Pick a museum, specialist shopping area or neighbourhood walk that matches what brought you to Tokyo. Leave room to revisit a place you liked rather than filling every remaining slot.
Food and local stops
Small restaurants can have limited seating or specific ordering systems. Ask about ingredients if needed, and keep a flexible backup when a popular place has a long queue.
Before you book
Keep large luggage out of busy sightseeing routes. Confirm opening days and reservations for any experience that is essential to your trip.
