浅草寺
Stay ~1h 30m
Asakusa Station
Your first taste of old Tokyo. Walk through the Kaminarimon gate, browse Nakamise-dori's snack stalls, and reach the main hall as the late-afternoon light softens the crowd. The temple grounds stay open — linger as lanterns come on.

Eventかっぱ橋道具まつり
Stay ~1h 15m
Running Oct 9–13, this street festival transforms Tokyo's restaurant-supply district into a food-lover's market. Sample fresh soba, watch knife-sharpening demos, and pick up a hand-hammered copper pot as a souvenir. A 10-min walk from Senso-ji.
