Guide · weather
July–August asphalt reflects. Shrine paths and outer plazas at dawn; afternoons for a hall, one museum or one teamLab. Water beats stamps.
Tokyo summer heat
Meiji Jingu has trees. Outer gardens and Nijubashi have no noon cover — use Hibiya or Kitanomaru. If Nakamise stops, the Culture Center has air-con.
One Ginza hall, one Ueno museum, or one teamLab. Do not also buy a daytime second tower.
Next stop
Walk, or take one JR / metro stop to the next sight. Do not backtrack.

After the halls, the tidal garden — do not open Shibuya.
