Tokyo Japan Tour Detail

Absolutely — 15 days is a great amount of time for Tokyo, because you can see the major areas without rushing and also take several day trips.



The official Tokyo tourism guide recommends grouping nearby neighborhoods together, such as Asakusa/Ueno, Harajuku/Shibuya/Shinjuku, and Tokyo Station/Ginza.
