Tokyo in 3 Days
You need three days just to take in the highlights of Tokyo and still have time for some shopping and nightlife.
With four or five days you can explore the city in greater depth, wander off the beaten path, and appreciate Tokyo's museums
at leisure. More time would allow for day trips to the scenic and historical sights in communities outside the city.
Day 1 Start very early (why waste your jet lag?) with a visit to the Tokyo Central Wholesale Market (Tokyo Chuo Oroshiuri Ichiba)
while it's still in high gear; then use the rest of the day for a tour of the Imperial Palace and environs.
Day 2 Spend the morning of Day 2 at Buddhist Senso-ji in Asakusa (Asakusa Kannon)(ji = tempel)Asakusa Jinja (jinja = sjintoheiligdom), and from there head to Ueno for an afternoon with its
many museums, vistas, and historic sites.
Day 3 Start Day 3 with a morning stroll through Ginza to explore its fabled shops and depato. In the afternoon, see the
Shinto Meiji Jingu and take a leisurely walk through the nearby Harajuku and Omotesando fashion districts to the
Nezu Institute of Fine Arts -- a perfect oasis for your last impressions of the city. ., Aoyama. A fantastic collection of Japanese and Chinese art, a lovely 5-acre garden,
and several tea pavilions make the Nezu Institute the perfect destination for a leisurely afternoon.
Julian: Sunday morning, visit the train station area of Harajuku to see the Meiji Jingu Shrine and the Gothic Girls stroll by. Have a nice time in Tokyo.
Shinjuku: Manhattan-achtige centrum met hoogbouw en veel lichtreclames. Like Manhattan: high buildings with lots of commercials.
Uji:
Trains to Kamakura leave from Shinagawa Station across the street from the hotel. Take the "JR Yokosuka Line" in direction of Zushi/Yokosuka.
forum Japan-guide.com:
Take the Yurikamome from Shimbashi Station to Odaiba. The train goes across the rainbow bridge and is very nice, during the day time and at night. If you wait you can get seats in the very front of the train (its an automatic train so there's no driver in the front),
