The Tokyo Metro Ginza and Hibiya lines plus the JR Yamanote loop link most of your itinerary, so pick up an IC card like Suica for tap-on tap-off convenience across Metro, Toei, and JR East. Walk between Senso-ji and Ueno, and through Yanaka Ginza, Omotesando, and Cat Street, where the streets are the attraction. For Odaiba, take the Yurikamome elevated line from Shimbashi. Kichijoji is a 20-minute JR Chuo Line ride from Shinjuku. When feet tire, JapanTaxi, LINE Taxi, or DiDi work well, with fares around 4,000 yen for a 10-kilometer hop.

What to order in Tokyo, Japan, with a fun fact for each
Edo-style sushi was designed to be eaten quickly by Tokyo workers, using vinegared rice and fresh, local fish to create a portable, elegant bite.
Introduced in the 16th century by Portuguese cooks, tempura became a Tokyo specialty known for its whisper-light batter fried at high heat to lock in a delicate crisp.
Ramen shops in Tokyo adapted Chinese noodles into many regional broths, and each shop often treats its recipe like a secret family tradition.
Mochi is pounded glutinous rice made into chewy cakes for New Year celebrations, and traditional mochitsuki gatherings turn the pounding into a lively community ritual.
Dorayaki sandwiches sweet red bean paste between two fluffy pancakes, and folklore says its name comes from a stray gong left by a samurai, 'dora' meaning gong.
Taiyaki is a fish-shaped cake modeled on the auspicious sea bream, originally filled with red bean paste and now stuffed with everything from custard to savory fillings.
Tokyo breweries helped refine sake into a drink with wine-like complexity, and tasting notes can range from floral to umami-rich depending on rice polishing and yeast.
Sencha is steamed right after plucking to preserve its vivid green color and grassy aroma, and Tokyo's tea culture elevated tea into a moment of calm in busy city life.
Shochu is a distilled spirit distinct from sake, and in Tokyo you can explore varieties made from barley, sweet potato, or rice that each offer a different flavor profile.
