14 Days in Tokyo
🗾 Complete Itinerary & Cost Guide
14 days in Tokyo lets you go beyond the highlights — take day trips, revisit favourites, and enjoy slow mornings. Here's a realistic day-by-day plan plus what it costs.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
This plan covers the essentials without burnout. Adjust based on opening hours, weather, and your stamina. Most days are 4–6 hours of activity with long meals and downtime built in.
Settle into your hotel, grab a light lunch, then ease into Tokyo with Shibuya Crossing + Hachiko statue. Don't overbook day one — jet lag is real.
Tsukiji outer market breakfast. Pair it with a sit-down lunch nearby and an evening walk through a different neighbourhood.
Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa. Take the morning slow and use the afternoon to explore a quieter district away from the tourist core.
TeamLab Planets digital art. Pair with a long lunch — Best sushi is at counter restaurants in Tsukiji and Toyosu. Even cheap conveyor sushi is excellent.
Day trip to Hakone or Mt. Fuji. This day usually involves a longer journey so start early.
Revisit Shibuya Crossing + Hachiko or spend the morning at a café in a quieter neighbourhood. The best travel days are often the unscheduled ones.
