Tokyo 3 Day Itinerary

This sample 3 day Tokyo itinerary groups each day by area so the trip does not become a train-map puzzle.

Treat this as 2 nights and 3 calendar days, including arrival and departure. With a late arrival or early return flight, keep just one full sightseeing day. For an extra day, see the Seoul to Tokyo 4 day plan.

Day 1: Arrival, Shibuya, and Harajuku

• Arrive, check transit cards or mobile payment setup, and drop bags.
• If your arrival time and hotel location allow, choose a short walk around Shibuya rather than making every stop mandatory.
• Add Harajuku or Omotesando if energy is high.
• Keep dinner near the hotel or the final neighborhood.

Day 2: Asakusa, Ueno, and Akihabara

• Start early in Asakusa.
• Choose Ueno for museums or parks, or Akihabara if electronics, games, or anime shops are a priority.
• Keep the other area optional and leave time for meals, transfers, and a weather backup.

Day 3: Ginza, Tokyo Station, or a Flexible Favorite

• This is departure day, not another full sightseeing day. Choose at most one area near your hotel or onward route if your flight timing allows.
• Keep one open block for shopping, cafes, or a weather backup.
• Confirm airport timing before adding late activities.
