How many days do you need in Tokyo?
7 days is the right length for a first trip to Tokyo. Tokyo is a cluster of cities: Shibuya, Shinjuku, Asakusa and Ginza each deserve most of a day, plus a food-market morning. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to Nikko, Kamakura or Hakone.
