Tokyo 5-Day Itinerary - Markets, Classic Restaurants & Pro Tips
A tight 5-day plan that links neighborhoods to named markets and classic restaurant streets so you waste less time and eat better. Start sushi breakfasts at Tsukiji Outer Market, snack down Nakamise at Senso‑ji, hunt bargains at Ameya‑Yokocho (Ueno) and Sunamachi Ginza, grab flexible lunches in Takashimaya Times Square food hall, and finish nights at traditional counters on Ginza’s Chuo‑dori or near Kabukiza; in Shibuya seek old‑style izakayas in Nonbei Yokocho and try Maidreamin on Sotokanda (Akihabara).
💡 Pro tips: arrive markets early, carry cash for stalls, reserve Ginza kaiseki ahead, load a Suica/Pasmo for fast transit, and schedule Skytree/Meiji Jingu around sunset to cut lines and get better light. Use this route to book smart and eat like a local.
