Tokyo isn't one city — it's many cities in one. Old-town Asakusa, youthful Shibuya, the quiet forest of Meiji Jingu. You can't see it all in a day, so pick a theme and walk with it.

Mornings: temples & shrines

Visit Senso-ji or Meiji Jingu early, before the crowds. Walk the calm, clear grounds slowly — with a GuideTunes audio guide in your ears, listening to each place's story.

Afternoons: eat your way around

Graze through Tsukiji's outer market and shopping-street stalls. Sushi, tempura, ramen — all began as Edo-era street food.

Evenings: city lights

Catch the night view from Shibuya Crossing or the Skytree deck. The city wears a completely different face after dark.

Walk, and listen to each place's story by ear. That's how GuideTunes is meant to be enjoyed.
