Tokyo
Your getaway to Tokyo
Start at Senso-ji in the morning calm, incense drifting past the giant red lantern. Sushi lunch at a counter where the chef decides; easy and excellent. An unhurried wander down Nakameguro's canal, coffee in hand, boutiques to duck into. Shinjuku Gyoen for an hour of green right in the middle of everything. Shibuya Crossing at rush hour, because some famous things earn it. Golden hour from the Metropolitan Building's free deck, city glowing, Fuji faint on the horizon. Dinner in an izakaya under the tracks, grilled skewers and a cold beer. One easy day trip: Kamakura's Great Buddha, then a beach walk after. Nothing extreme, nothing missed, a little of everything Tokyo does best. Come curious. Leave already planning the return.
