Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station
This day offers you the chance to get some fresh air and plenty of walking in case you had a long flight. The Imperial Palace is also a must-see for fans of history and it offers a stark contrast to the modern high rises all around. Traditional Japan meets the modern age in the Chiyoda district.
日本、〒100-8111 東京都千代田区千代田１−１
Highly recommended to walk or even run around the whole palace (about 5 km). However, please remember that the summers in Tokyo can get pretty hot and humid so early morning might be your best bet.

Very close to the Imperial Palace. This beautiful station offers culinary options as well as a variety of shops. During the summer you'll also find a place to escape the heat.

Shibuya - Possibly the most iconic place in Tokyo
Shibuya is home to one of the largest pedestrian crossings in the world. It can be packed with people - locals and visitors alike. But this day offers you the opportunity to walk into the surrounding neighbourhoods and explore some of the less known areas of Shibuya.
日本、〒150-0042 東京都渋谷区宇田川町２１
The crossing can get quite crowded, especially during rush hour. Prices around the crossing can also be a bit inflated so if you are looking to do some shopping it might be good to walk around and browse before making a decision. This however is a must-take photo opportunity.
日本、東京都渋谷区 旧渋谷川遊歩道路
Very cute little shopping street with lots of fun shops and vintage clothing stores. Here you can immerse in the local fashion trends.

Harajuku is one of the pop-culture centres of Tokyo. With colourful vintage clothing, tasty sweet shops and fun souvenirs, Harajuku is sure to make a lasting memory.
日本、〒150-0001 東京都渋谷区神宮前５丁目３２−３１
After some potential shopping and definitely plenty of walking the Trunk Hotel is a great place to sit down and grab a cup of coffee or even a drink. Seats are available outside as well as indoors and the views are quite beautiful.
日本、〒171-0014 東京都豊島区池袋２丁目４７−１１
Before heading to Hokkaido, it is super convenient to send the luggage with Yamato to your next hotel. That way you don't have to drag your luggage around Tokyo. You simply board your flight and the luggage will be waiting for you at your destination. You can find Yamato services in their stores, like this one in Ikebukuro, some convenience stores, hotels and on TripToJapan as well, see details in my Instagram Reel: instagram.com/triptojapan_/reel/DVOHoppks4T
