Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
This is a must-see! The oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo, it’s surrounded by bustling shopping arcades and narrow streets with local stores selling all sorts of hand-made crafts and delicacies. Buff young men and game young women operate rickshaw and you’ll see plenty of folk dressed in kimono, it’s a great spot for pictures!
2
Stop 2
This area is very Tokyo, packed with all sorts of electronics and anime stores, game centres, and “maid cafes”, it’s something you won’t find anywhere else in the world. We could also make a stop at Mitsukoshi department store on the way down to the fish market, it’s a grand building with French and Italian marble under the skylit ceiling, it was once home to a baby elephant!
3
The old fish market is no longer, however people still love to visit the “outer" market - a small area packed with little restaurants and an endless array of street foods, not just seafood but wagyu, seasonal fruits, etc. If you prefer, the Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai at the new market is more focussed on sit-down eating and also has a variety of options.
4
Stop 4
Next we will drive through the outer gardens of the Imperial Residence, being that the royal family still lives there and the residence is purposefully hidden from view it isn’t possible to see the building itself but you will love the immaculately sculpted trees and view of the stone bridges. We’ll also drive past a few more significant sites on the way to the next stop.
5
Stop 5
Yes, it’s another shrine! But this one is surrounded by a lush forest of over 100,000 trees and 170 acres! It’s a peaceful respite from the busy streets of Tokyo. Built for the souls of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Shoken, it’s a great place to pray for a good relationship and recharge your battery before the next stop.
6
Stop 6
This is a funky area full of all sorts of fashion, street foods (crepes are a big deal, also strawberries and candy apples) and now animal cafes. Gwen Stefani famously loved Harajuku fashion and while fashions change this is still the place to see what’s hot in Tokyo.
7
Stop 7
If you loved Fast and Furious, Lost in Translation or Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, you need to make a stop at the world famous Shibuya crossing. If you have no idea what I’m talking about you should probably still visit and witness the madness that is Shibuya crossing!
