Make this route work for you

Planning notes updated . How we prepare our templates.

Our planning suggestions for this template. These are editorial choices, not live transport times or confirmed reservations.

Why this order

Keep Asakusa and Ueno together on the first day, then use the second day for Harajuku and Shibuya. Moving between those two clusters several times would take time away from visits.

Adjust the pace

On Day 1, choose whether the Tokyo National Museum is a main visit or optional. If the temple and market take longer, shorten the park walk rather than compressing the museum into a rushed stop.

Weather and backup plan

For wet weather, give the Ueno museum more time and reduce the outdoor park block. Keep any booked Shibuya Sky slot fixed until you check its change conditions.

Build your budget

Separate museum and observation-deck tickets from meals and local transport. Template amounts are planning estimates in the displayed currency; verify current official prices before relying on a total.
