The most detailed Tokyo free travel route (Day2) on the whole network
🌟How to play in Tokyo❓❓
🎈9:30-11:00 (Tokyo Tower🗼)
You can take big shots everywhere, the photos are super atmospheric! You can check in at the Shiba Park under the Tokyo Tower. There is also a large lawn there. The focus of the characters in the lawn on the Tokyo Tower definitely has an effect you can't think of.
Address: 4-2-8 Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo (5 minutes walk from Kamiyacho Station)
Business hours: 9:00-22:30
⬇
🎈Kamiyacho Station-Roppongi Station (Tram🚃3 minutes, you can also walk, save money)
⬇
🎈11:20-13:00 (Roppongi)
It's super close to the Tokyo Tower, and it's a must-visit place for everyone in Japan. Recommended attractions, National New Art Museum, Roppongi Observatory, Keyakizaka, Roppongi Nakajo.
⬇13:00-14:00 (Lunch time)🥣
Because I am a ramen control🍜, so I recommend the IRUKA ramen🍜 that has been recommended by Michelin. The queue may be longer, but it's worth eating. You can also eat eel rice and tempura in the surrounding area. A lot will come out with a map search
⬇
🎈Roppongi Station-Shinjuku Station (Tram🚃9 minutes, Toei Oedo Line)
⬇
🎈14:20-17:00 (Shinjuku)
Home appliances, drugstores, Don Quijote, everything you need, although you can't visit Kabukicho at night, you can feel the atmosphere of Kabukicho during the day (I still recommend coming at night if you have time) This time period I am specifically for everyone to buy things, so I recommend Shinjuku
⬇
🎈Shinjuku-Shibuya (Tram🚃7 minutes, Yamanote Line)
⬇
🎈17:20-20:00 (Shibuya)
⬇
I highly recommend Shibuya because I really want everyone to go to Shibuya sky to watch a sunset🌄, immediately set off after shopping in Shinjuku, depending on the season, the sunset time is also different, so everyone must do their homework in advance! After watching, you will know what it feels like! After watching the sunset, you can check in at the Hachiko exit of Shibuya, and then find a local izakaya🏮 for a little drink at night, and then go back to the hotel to sleep.
