Tokyo Old Town, Museums and Neighborhoods
Stay in Ueno and Asakusa, take a leisurely stroll through Yanaka's old streets and the National Museum, visit Kichijoji and Shimokitazawa, and add a day trip to Kamakura
Use Ueno and Asakusa as your base, which is convenient from Narita Airport. The focus is on the everyday feel of old Tokyo: Yanaka Ginza, Ueno Park and the Tokyo National Museum. One day in western Tokyo covers the Ghibli Museum, Inokashira Park and the vintage shops of Shimokitazawa. Another day is spent in Kamakura, seeing the Great Buddha and its Zen temples. This trip suits repeat visitors and those who enjoy a slow pace, museums and neighborhood walks. Busy commercial districts such as Shibuya and Shinjuku are not highlights.
Kamakura's hydrangea season in June brings heavy crowds on weekends, so visit on a weekday if possible.
