Discover Japan in 14 Days: A Perfect Itinerary for First-Time Explorers 🗾🌸✨

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is an eclectic city, an incredible mix of imperial palaces, sanctuaries, temples, but also cutting-edge neighborhoods full of huge skyscrapers and gigantic video.
Many of Tokyo's neighborhoods are like small cities, each with a different character: for example Shibuya is the district of young people, Akihabara of manga and electronics, Asakusa with its ancient temples and Ginza of luxury. Often you just need to get on the metro and get off at the next stop to see something completely different.
In this guide I don't just want to give you a list of things to see but I want to guide you to discover Tokyo through its neighborhoods.
By following an itinerary that is too precise you risk seeing the main attractions so quickly that you pass from one neighborhood to another without savoring the magic of the neighborhood itself. As everyone often says: "You either love Tokyo or you hate it" and
 there are no truer words than these.
Unfortunately, Tokyo is a huge metropolis and at first glance it could give you a headache or even stun you!
In this guide you will find everything you need to best organize your trip to discover the greater Tokyo..

 Inside you will find:
🗓️Best Time to visit
🚊Transportations
🏨 Where to stay
🏛️What to visit
☕️cafés
🍽️restaurants
🍹cocktail bar and nightlife

Two week guide to Japan: Osaka->Kyoto->Tokyo

This itinerary is designed to hit the major highlights of Japan and visits the top three cities of Japan for first time visitors. To get the most out of your travel time I suggest flying into Osaka and out of Tokyo. You can also of course flip this itinerary around and start in Tokyo and end in Osaka. 

This trip only has you riding the Shinkansen (the bullet train) one time, between Kyoto and Tokyo, and thus does not require you to purchase a JR Rail pass.

Tokyo 🇯🇵 Unveiled: Your Ultimate City Guide

Hie Shrine

The Hie Shrine is one of the most important shrines in the city and one of the most important meeting and prayer places for locals.  The walk you take to reach it is very beautiful, passing through a tunnel of red torii that recall the Fushimi Inari.  An ancient celebration has accompanied this place for centuries, the Sanno Matsuri, one of the most well-known and fascinating festivals in the capital.

👣How to get there: reachable on foot from Toyokawa Inari Betsuin (1km, 15min). Metro stop: Tameike-Sanno, Ginza line. 

🎟️Ticket cost: free entry.

Can you believe this is in Tokyo?

There are three entrances to this temple. The Sanno torii gate (wooden gates found at the shrines) entry is the most convenient because it has an escalator next to the stairs to get up to the hilltop shrine! Heck yes for easier accessibility.

In mid-June, Hie Shrine has the Sanno Festival, one of Tokyo’s three major festivals.  Worshippers dance and sing to the beat of taiko drums and there are hundreds of lanterns dedicated to the deity.

This is a good alternative to the one in Kyoto.
A lot of people say it is less busy, but not sure about it as many people are posting about it. 

If you can’t make it to Kyoto on your trip to Japan, this is a great alternative to see red torri gates

Complex of Shinto shrines & gardens holding several auspicious annual festivals & events.
