For my tour of Tokyo in 2 days, please watch the Youtube video:

We only had 2 days in Tokyo, and basically went for all 10 places below on the first day. You are recommended to split the following itinerary into 2 days if you have more time. On the second day, we just hang out in shopping malls at Nihonbashi, and enjoy Tokyo in a relax way!

1. Meiji Jingu Shrine
Spacious shrine ground for relaxing stroll.

From 2nd floor of Starbucks, you can see this intersection where pedestrians cross from many directions

Travel Tip:
1. Tokyo one day metro pass (600 yen, valid for 24 hours after first usage). Definitely worth the purchase because most places are connected via Metro.

Food Tip:
1. Nakau (we went to Nakau Nihonbashi which opens 24 hours, they have good food that makes you feel cozy and at home!)

2. Kantaro at Tokyo station- they have good and fresh sushi!

3. Kushi Hacchin Place- their Yakitori is delicious! (pepper bell wrapped in bacon and cheese was the highlight! You will see many local working men gathering with colleagues).
