Day 2 in Tokyo blended tradition, sweets, and neon magic. We began with pancakes at Benitsuru, then explored Asakusa Shrine and Senso-ji’s lantern-lined streets. Matcha breaks and sweet potato Mont Blanc at Imo Pippi fueled us before unagi lunch at Unatoto. The evening unfolded with playful stops at Character Street, dazzling art at TeamLab Borderless, Tokyo Tower’s glow, and cocktails at Bar Centifolia, Tokyo’s contrasts shining at every turn.

Our Tokyo journey began at Haneda Airport, where the Travel Japan Web app made entry smooth with a simple QR scan. After checking into Hotel Gracery Shinjuku, greeted by the iconic Godzilla statue, we fueled up at Ichiran Ramen before strolling the peaceful Meiji Jingu Shrine. Dinner at Menchirashi’s viral Carbonara Udon was unforgettable, and the day ended under neon lights at Shibuya Scramble and dazzling city views from Shibuya Sky.
