09:30 – Shibuya Crossing
Walk to the iconic Shibuya Crossing. In the morning it’s busy, but not overwhelming. Cross it once, then watch it from above from a café or viewpoint. This is your first “wow, I’m really in Tokyo” moment.

Spend some time walking through Shibuya’s side streets. Visit shops, small boutiques, and hidden cafés. This is where you ease into the city without pressure.

Stroll through Takeshita Street, browse quirky shops, and enjoy the playful fashion culture. It’s busy, colourful, and fun — but you don’t need hours here.

Step into calm at Meiji Shrine. Walk through the forest paths, take your time, and enjoy the silence. This is a mental reset after the city energy.
16:00 – Yoyogi Park
