๐ 3-Day Tokyo + Mount Fuji Ultimate Guide for First-Timers ๐
Covers the main must-see spots in Tokyo city (2 days) and Mount Fuji (1 day), perfect for friends visiting Japan for the first time and hoping to tick off famous landmarks. โBe sure to have Google Maps ready! Day 1: ๐ฌ Morning 6:00 landing at Narita Airport, take the Keisei Skyliner to Nippori transfer station, transfer to a bus to ๐จ Asakusa area hotel to check-in luggage (1.5h), and start the day's itinerary. ๐บ๏ธ Route: ๐ Senso-ji Temple: Check out the famous Kaminarimon gate and Senso-ji Pagoda (free, 30min) ๐ Tokyo Skytree: Walk 20min to Tokyo Skytree for a panoramic view of Tokyo (๐ฐยฅ100), with observation decks at 350 meters and 450 meters (more expensive). You can book online or buy tickets on-site. ๐ Ueno Park: Take a tram ๐ to Ueno Park, which includes multiple art galleries, museums, shrines, and a lakeside park in Tokyo, ๐ธ it's especially beautiful during cherry blossom season. You can visit according to your interests, or quickly check it off if not interested. ๐ Akihabara: Walk or take a tram ๐ to Akihabara commercial district, the hub for Tokyo's electronic products/anime, games, and merchandise/adult toys ๐คซ. There are many scenes from anime for photo opportunities and shopping according to your interests. ๐ Ginza: Take a tram ๐ to Ginza, the top shopping district in all of Japan, with basically all luxury brands having stores or counters. Perfect for shopping for the gentry. ๐ Tsukiji Fish Market: About 1.5 km from Ginza, you can walk there, mainly a seafood hub, but it's mostly for tourists now. It's recommended to just stroll and check it off. I went in the afternoon, and many shops were already closed, so you might want to visit in the morning. ๐ Tokyo Tower: The last stop of the day, take a tram ๐ and navigate to "tofuya ukai" (a restaurant), and you'll arrive at the foot of Tokyo Tower. If you see a crowd lining up, that's the popular spot for upward shots (I was too lazy to wait in line, so I didn't take the shot). Here you can only look up at Tokyo Tower, if you want a distant view, you can choose a bar in Roppongi (search on your own). If you take the tram from "Daimon Station", you can capture Tokyo Tower in the third grid on the way. #Tokyo #MountFuji #JapanTravel #TokyoTravelGuide #TokyoTrip #TokyoAttractions #JapanTravelTips
