Senso-ji
After Kaminarimon: incense and the hall. Next is Nakamise or the tower across the Sumida — not Shibuya.

Asakusa
Senso-ji, Nakamise and Skytree across the Sumida. Asakusa plus the tower is the whole day — do not also jam Shibuya.

Nakamise-dori
The arcade from Kaminarimon to the hall. Cap the samples — buy on the way back.

Tokyo Skytree
The tower on the east Sumida bank. Same day as Asakusa — do not also add Shibuya or Odaiba.

Ryogoku Kokugikan
Sumo’s home. Worth a dedicated trip in honbasho months; other days the Ryogoku museum belt is enough.

Japanese Sword Museum
The sword museum in Sumida. Same east bank as Skytree — do not rebound to Senso-ji.

Sumida Hokusai Museum
A small hall in Hokusai’s home ward. Can pair with the Sword Museum — not the National Museum.

Monzen-nakacho
Fukagawa’s temple-front arcade. Tomioka Hachiman and Fukagawa Fudo are a walk — one east shitamachi day.

Fukagawa Fudodo
Fire and incense at Monzen-nakacho. If you catch a goma rite, treat it as a short stop — not the spine.

Kiyosumi-shirakawa
Cafés and warehouses in east Tokyo. Link it with Monzen-nakacho — do not open Shibuya.

Kiyosumi Garden
A stroll garden in Fukagawa. Same stop as Kiyosumi-shirakawa — do not also sprint Ueno Park.

Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center
Free views across from Kaminarimon. The first height of an Asakusa day — you do not need a tower ticket to start.

Sumida Park
Cherry and lawn on both banks north of Senso-ji. The flat alternative when you walk to the tower.

Kappabashi Kitchen Town
Kitchenware and sample-food street west of Asakusa. A different tempo from Nakamise — not a temple add-on.

Kameido Tenjin
Wisteria and drum bridges east of Kinshicho. Same Sumida ring as Skytree — do not open Shibuya.
