Day 1: Asakusa + Ueno

Asakusa Station (Asakusa Line / Ginza Line)

Asakusa Station -> Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center -> Kaminari-mon -> Nakamise Street -> Sensoji Temple

Start at Asakusa Station (Asakusa Line / Ginza Line).

From the subway station, take Exit no 2 to make your way to Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center. This unique building was designed by Japan renowned architect, Kengo Kuma. It is open from 9 am – 8 pm. You can go up to the top floor of Asakusa Observatory, which allows you to have a great view of Nakamise Street, Sensoji Temple, Tokyo Sky Tree and also Sumida River.

Continue to the iconic Kaminari Mon (Thunder Gate). The red coloured gate with 700kg lantern in the middle acts as the main door to Nakamise Street and Sensoji Temple. Under the lantern you can see a wooden carved dragon. And on each side of the gate, you can see God of Thunder and God of Wind as benevolent deities.

Continue your walk through Nakamise Street; this one of Japan’s oldest shopping streets filled with souvenir shops, delicious snacks and more. It leads to the famous Sensoji Temple, the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo dedicated to Kannon or Guanyin.

Asakusa is also famous for its rickshaw and Japanese desserts like meron-pan, ningyo-yaki, matcha and many more.

On top of Asakusa, at evening or night, it is enjoyable to have brisk walk by the Sumida River,

You can either walk around 20 minutes to Tokyo Sky Tree or take a train to just one station away, Oshiage Station (Asakusa Line).

Tokyo Sky tree is the world’s highest communication tower (and Japan’s highest structure). You can buy a ticket to the observatory deck to get widest view of Tokyo.

From Asakusa or Oshiage, you can make your way to Ueno Station (Ginza Line). In spring, it is famous to walk around Ueno Park for Sakura viewing. One of the famous spots in Ueno is Ameyoko Street. You can find almost anything here, from groceries and fresh seafood to branded items.

For Muslim, you can walk to As-Salam Mosque, near OkachiMachi station as well. Nearby, you can book a spot for Halal Yakiniku Panga to enjoy wagyu for your dinner. Or maybe just try Halal Kebab at Ameyoko street.

End your day with a visit to Akihabara (Hibiya Line). Akihabara is the epi-centre of hobbyists in Japan, especially techy, manga and anime lovers. During the weekend, the sight of cosplayers is common.

Day 2: Shibuya + Shinjuku

Start the day from Shibuya (Fukutoshin Line). Start your day to search for Hachiko Statue. The loyal dog is one of Shibuya Famous Landmark and meeting points. Then, don’t miss out on experiencing the famous Shibuya Crossing. Enjoy yourself shopping around Shibuya.
Next, take the train to Harajuku. Ride the Fukutoshin line two stations away to Meiji-Jingumae (Harajuku) Station. Harajuku = Takeshita Street. Experience the pop-culture of Japan in this happening street. There are lots of local fashion brand shops, and don’t forget to try Harajuku Crepe.

For Muslim, from Meiji-Jingumae (Harajuku) Station, take the Chiyoda Line train to Yoyogi-Uehara station. Walk around 5 minutes to Tokyo Camii Mosque. A turkish design and one of the oldest mosques in Japan. It’s the best relaxing spot not only for prayer but to stretch your legs.

Continue to Shinjuku Station (Shinjuku Line, Oedo Line), you can also stop at Shinjuku Sanchome (Fukutoshin Line, Shinjuku Line, Marunouchi Line), Shijuku Nishiguchi or Tochomae Station (Oedo Line). As for the number of stations, you can imagine how busy Shinjuku is – one of the biggest train hubs in the world. Enjoy Shinjuku Golden Gai, a small izakaya / bar which is always visited by Japanese workers after work. Like Shibuya, Shinjuku also offer varieties of shopping mall and brands.

Day 3: Tsukiji + Tokyo

Start the day from Tsukiji (Hibiya Line). Tsukiji previously was the biggest auction market in Japan. Although the main market location was changed, the vibe of the outer market is still the same. You can enjoy various street foods and fresh meals in the morning.

Continue to Ginza (Hibiya Line, Ginza Line, Marunouchi Line). The main street/Chuo Dori will be closed for pedestrians on weekends (noon – evening).

To Tokyo Tower. Take the train to Onarimon (Mita line). Then walk a bit to Tokyo Tower. We highly recommend visiting Tokyo tower during sunset or at night. The color of Tokyo Tower gives a romantic feeling and great vibe.
