Two days in Tokyo

You can get free English speaking tour guides all over Japan - I've done it in a bunch of places, and have really enjoyed the experience

For me - who speaks no Japanese - it was a nice way to get a local perspective and access to a bunch of things I wouldn't have seen or known about.

Wander around Senso-Ji (temple) in Asakusa. They also have a lot of vendors, and it's not far from the Tsukiji (old Tokyo seafood market--now touristy, but still worth a visit).

Ueno Park’s pretty nice, and if the weather drives you indoors while you’re there the national museum has a good collection.

You should walk around shinjuku shibuya and ginza if you have time

Then drink coffee and people watch and read newspapers for a couple of hours. I would probably also go to Tokyo Tower for the view. And Ueno Park.

If you’ve never been then shut up

Some of the people on this board are truly unhinged.

Do you like food, fashion, nature, history, art? Toyko is a massive city with excellent transit to nearby areas. It'll help to tell us what you want to explore.

History, interesting street scenes. Got some good responses here!

interesting street scenes.

Some of our favorites:

Shinjuku
-Omoide Yokocho
-Golden-Gai
Shimokitazawa - "hip" neighborhood with vintage stores
Tsukiji - fish market

Don't stay in the Financial District, on the weekend. I made that mistake. It was like a ghost town - sort of like how K Street use to be, on the weekend.

Stroll around Ginza then snack.
Senso ji is also great for an afternoon stroll.
