Tokyo Highlights
Discover the neon-lit streets of Shibuya and the ancient temples of Asakusa in one electric day.
About Tokyo Highlights
Tokyo is thirteen million stories layered on top of each other — a 7th-century temple one block from a holographic billboard. The best first day mixes the timeless and the futuristic: incense at Senso-ji in the morning, the world’s busiest crossing at dusk, and a tiny izakaya at night.
What to see & do
- Senso-ji Temple & Nakamise shopping street in Asakusa
- The Shibuya Scramble crossing and Hachiko statue
- Meiji Shrine and the forest in the heart of the city
- teamLab Borderless / Planets digital art museum
