How about a trip to traditional Japan while staying in the heart of modern Tokyo?
This is a non-exhaustive list of what you can do in Asakusa; probably one of the greatest places in Tokyo! It is drenched in culture, offers amazing food, and despite being very touristy, it has one of the nicest ambiences of any places we've ever visited.
We don't believe a map listing each place suffices. So, we have come up with a list of recommendations with explanations for everything.

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
🎭activities
✨unusual places
📌1,3 and 6 day itineraries.
🎒excursions around Tokyo.
And lots of other information and advice that will help you better plan your stay...
Happy reading!👀

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.

I lived there for almost two years. I moved without knowing anything about their culture. For me, Asia was very far from my reach. I didn't even take it into account then.
The most complicated thing was joining a group of people there. They were very respectful to the point that not even a couple showed love for each other in the streets. On the other hand, everything was new to me, so I took advantage of every second to explore and learn more about Japan and my favorite city there: TOKYO.
CURIOSITIES:
If you don't have Japanese blood, you can't apply for Japanese citizenship.
Did you know that Japan has the highest life expectancy rate in the world?
86 years for women and 79 for men. The longest life expectancy highest within Japan is located on the island of Okinawa.
In addition, Shinjuku station in Tokyo is the busiest in the world. According to Wikipedia, 3.64 million people pass through this station daily. The station has 200 exits.
The most important thing: It's not very expensive.
You can eat for €7-8 and water always is free.
You can find accommodation for €25-30 per person.
Tokyo Metro costs €1.70 per person per journey.
High-speed Shinkansen train lines are expensive (but it is the easiest way to travel around Japan).
