Tokyo 3 days and 2 nights trip 🇯🇵

🗓 Day 1: Traditional Culture

📍Meiji Jingu Shrine

Tucked away in the heart of the city, the shrine boasts a solemn and tranquil atmosphere, yet is surrounded by the vibrant shopping district of Harajuku. The giant torii gate and sake barrels at the entrance are must-photographs. If you're lucky, you might even catch a traditional Japanese wedding. The shrine offers a wide variety of amulets, making them perfect souvenirs, with "good luck" and "good luck" charms being the most popular!

📍Sensō-ji Temple

Tokyo's oldest temple, Kaminarimon Gate and Nakamise-dori Street offer the perfect backdrop for experiencing the downtown atmosphere. A traditional drawing of lots is a must-do while you're here; both auspicious and unlucky auspices are worth a try. There are also many kimono shops nearby where you can try your hand at kimono! Along the way to the temple, there are shopping streets where you can try ningyoyaki (shaped like a ningyo-yaki pottery), fried manju (steamed buns), and matcha sweets. You can also find many Tokyo souvenirs here.

📍Vowz Bar (Monk Bar)

This unique bar, run by monks, incorporates Buddhist philosophy into its cocktails. The specialty cocktails have fun names like "Worry-Relieving" and "Pure Land of Bliss." Every evening, a monk leads a chanting session! You can even try calligraphy for free!

🗓 Day 2: Modern Tokyo

📍Shibuya Sky

Shibuya's new landmark observatory offers a 360-degree view of the Tokyo skyline. If you visit in the evening, you can enjoy both the sunset and the night view. However, when I visited in the afternoon, the outdoor area was closed due to the heat, which was a shame. I couldn't take photos of the glass deck, "Sky Edge." If you're planning to visit, be sure to pay attention to weather conditions.

📍Tokyo Tower

This is Tokyo's most romantic symbol. For the best angles, take photos of the tower from Shiba Park or Zojoji Temple.

📍Bulgari Hotel Tokyo – Night View Bar

This 43rd-floor skybar, accessible even without accommodation, is highly recommended for reservations. Not only can you see Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree, but you can also experience the service and atmosphere of a luxury hotel. It's definitely worth it.

🗓 Day 3: Shopping & City Stroll

📍Ginza

Tokyo's most iconic upscale shopping district, home to boutiques, department stores, and cafes, you'll find every brand you could dream of. Don't forget to visit Ginza Mitsukoshi, where tax refunds are incredibly convenient, and the depreciating yen makes shopping even more affordable. GINZA SIX is also beautiful, overflowing with design, and a delightful stroll. Hidden gems and arty cafes can be found tucked away in the alleyways. On weekend afternoons, the area is closed to traffic, transforming the streets into a pedestrian-friendly "pedestrian paradise," perfect for an afternoon stroll.

📍Tokyo Station

More than just a transportation hub, it's also a destination for architecture and shopping. The Marunouchi red-brick station building is a prime spot for photo ops, and the underground shopping center "GRANSTA" is perfect for souvenir shopping, stocking everything from unique sweets to bento boxes. Daimaru Department Store Tokyo is located near the station exit, making it a great place to stock up before catching your flight to the airport! #hellohalloween #travelcoolexperiences #travelinspiration #japan #tokyo #getgoing2025 #mustvisit #historicallandmarks #japantrip #tokyospots
