Ginza Yonchome
The Wako clock crossing. One department-store axis; next is Tokyo Station or Tsukiji outer — not Shibuya.
tokyo-center
Ginza / Marunouchi
Ginza Yonchome, Tokyo Station brick and the Imperial Palace outer gardens. In rain the department stores are the spine; Tsukiji outer is a half-day of its own.

Tokyo Station
Marunouchi brick and underground Character Street. Treat it as a hub and a shop stop, not only a transfer.

Imperial Palace Outer Gardens
Nijubashi and the plaza. Outer gardens are enough; the East Gardens need their own slot.

Tsukiji Outer Market
The inner market moved to Toyosu. Outer is breakfast and knives — go early, leave early.

Tsukiji Hongwanji
An Indian-style stone hall next to the outer market. The inner market moved to Toyosu — this is the religious pin of the outer-market story.

Tsukishima Monja Street
Monjayaki on Nishinaka-dori. One street for lunch or dinner — do not stack it on Tsukiji breakfast.

Kachidoki
The bridge and tower belt south of Tsukishima, west of Toyosu. A transfer node — not a stamp.

Nijubashi
The most photographed bridge of the outer gardens. You are already there after the plaza; the East Gardens need their own slot.

Kitanomaru Park
Green on the north palace edge. MOMAT sits on the park — the shade stretch of a centre day.

National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
MOMAT on the Kitanomaru edge. A different collection from Ueno’s National Museum — one hall a day.

Hibiya Park
The civic park beside the Imperial Hotel. Green buffer between Ginza and the palace — not a picnic main act.

Shimbashi
A station town of salaryman izakaya. Ginza-south dinner node — not a daytime sight.

Tokyo Dome City
Dome, rides and onsen in one complex. Home ground for families or a game day — not a city-centre stamp.

Koishikawa Korakuen
An Edo stroll garden beside the Dome. Garden or rides — do not finish both and then sprint Ueno.

Ningyocho
Sweets and dolls east of Nihonbashi. The slow tail of a centre day — do not open Asakusa’s arcade.

Hama-rikyu Gardens
A tidal garden between Shiodome and Tsukiji. A different stretch from Ginza halls — finish the garden before you go up.

Nihonbashi
The zero-mile bridge and hall ring. Same hub day as Tokyo Station — do not open Asakusa.

KITTE Marunouchi
The old post building south of Tokyo Station. Roof for brick, basement for boxes. A hub tail — not the spine.

Tokyo International Forum
The glass ship between Yurakucho and Tokyo Station. An indoor rain axis — not the show itself.
