When I visited Tokyo for the first time in my life, I didn't have time to do too much homework before I went. Fortunately, the sightseeing environment in Japan is quite friendly. Many transportation websites have a good Chinese education level. It is quite fun to plan the itinerary while playing.
The night before I came to Japan, I just settled in the hotel at 9pm, and I didn’t know how to arrange the next day’s itinerary, so I had to take out my iPad, click on the Dropbox App, and open the "Tokyo ►梦の下町" which I downloaded first in Taiwan. -The "Sightseeing Bus Manual" electronic file to quickly plan a day itinerary.Let me share the experience and sharing articles of this planned one-day trip to Tokyo Shitamachi, as a reference case for everyone to plan itinerary.
Simple one-day itinerary
★ Toyoko Inn Tokyo Nihonbashi (Check in at the hotel)→Get up→Toei Asakusa Line→Caffe di FESTA(Breakfast)→Suitemiya→"Tokyo ►Yome no Shitamachi" sightseeing bus→Asakusa Kaminarimon→Zuba Asakusa (lunch)→Tokyo Skytree →Tokyo Station→Western Food Ichiban Street (Dinner)→Toei Asakusa Line→Hotel
The full-day itinerary mainly takes the Tokyo Metropolitan Government "Tokyo ► Dream no Shitamachi" sightseeing bus route. The original idea was to buy a one-day sightseeing bus ticket and use the transportation cost to eat all you can eat. As a result, the Asakusa Kaminarimon and Tokyo were swayed for a whole half day. There are three points: the Skytree and Tokyo Station. The whole route passes through many important sightseeing points. Even if you are serious all day long, you can't go there, so it's better to pick a few points.
"Tokyo ► Dream no Shitamachi" This route connects the main well-known attractions in the Shitamachi area of Tokyo. There are many special attractions at each stop. Simply follow the bus route to plan your itinerary and choose the main attractions you want to go. It is very simple You can immediately design your own self-service itinerary.Next, let's take a look at the detailed itinerary introduction and article sharing!
Itinerary introduction and sharing of attractions and food
Relaxed breakfast: Hotel (get up) → Toei Asakusa Line (Higashi-Nihonbashi Station → Nihonbashi Station) → Mitsukoshi Department Store → Caffe di FESTA (Breakfast)
Itinerary description: It is one thing to talk about soldiers on paper if you want to use the one-day traffic volume for a self-service trip, but actual combat drills are another.For those of us who want to go for a day trip, we must break through the first hurdle, of course, to get up early.So we arrived at Higashi-Nihonbashi Station on the Asakusa Line next to the hotel at around nine o'clock in the morning...it's so early!
After taking the Asakusa Line to Nihombashi Station, based on the principle of stingy, walk a long way to Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Station in "Tokyo ► Dream no Shitamachi" and take a ride. When passing by the light food restaurant in the main building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Department Store, consider traveling. The main premise is that you must first reserve your vigorous energy.Ever since, I stopped leisurely and had a hearty breakfast, until it was close to 12 o'clock at noon, which is so leisurely!

To Suitengu: Ningyocho Nori Bus (Mitsukoshimae Station→Suitemiya Station)→Suitemiya→Ningyocho Nori Bus (Suitemiya Station→Mitsukoshimae Station)
Itinerary description: After eating a hearty breakfast, take a leisurely stroll to the stop sign in front of the Mitsukoshi New Building. The bus timetable is posted on the stop sign. There are four buses passing this stop on holidays, namely 09:19, 10:39, 11:19, 13:37.Surprised!There is only the last bus to take, and you have to wait for more than an hour.At this time, adhering to the spirit of free travel, I turned around and walked towards the bus stop sign of Mitsukoshi Main Building (in fact, I have a mentality of self-destruction and no fish or shrimp).
Hold on to the spirit of getting free tastings if you can't wait until you're full!When aiming to leave the light food shop, I just saw the bus stop in front of the Mitsukoshi main building, a group of rather stylish and unclear routes stopped at the "Suitiangiya" temporary free walk, and boarded this vehicle, supported by the Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative Group. , A free bus that only runs temporarily for three days, choose a stop sign at the Water Temple that is most like a sightseeing spot, and get off.
The unintentional bus that was taken at will on that day was supposed to be a temporary route set up by the businesses of Ningyocho to organize a certain event.In fact, even if you don’t take this unrefined bus, you can take the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line and go back and forth between Suitengumae Station and Mitsukoshimae Station, and you can get there from Exit 5 of Suitengumae Station.

Itinerary description: After finishing the temporary itinerary of Suiten Palace, take the bus on the same route back, just in time for the last train at Mitsukoshimae Station, "Tokyo ► Dream no Shitamachi". At 1:37 pm, our stingy one-day tour (finally... )! "Tokyo ► Dream no Shitamachi" Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Station. The stop sign is in front of the new Mitsukoshi Department Store. The boarding point is between the A2 and A3 exits of Tokyo Metro Mitsukoshi Mae Station. Use the google map to locate it and you can clearly see the blue color. Bus stop signs and MRT exits.
Basically, every stop sign on "Tokyo ► Meng no Shitamachi", as long as you can find the outbound stop sign at the first stop, after getting off at a certain stop, you can continue to take the original stop to the next stop, or on the opposite street Take the return bus at the stop sign for the return journey, and the stop sign for the outbound journey and the return journey are on both sides of the street facing each other.It's a little harder at first, but it won't be difficult again.

When encountering a sunny day, it really makes the whole mood cheerful. It happens to be a classic attraction-Kaminarimon, take a good photo .
After the photo was taken, the appetite naturally came. Holding the adventurous mood of seeking quiet and visiting victory, thinking that the real gourmet store is located in the alleys, so I walked to the alley to randomly select a noodle shop and walked directly. Go in for a meal!

This situation is like when you were a student, you don’t have to work for class and the day of the exam. I was late, and I got 80 points in the final exam!Of course, this is also the greatest pleasure of free travel. As for how much money you save, it is not the point. Having fun and eating is the most important thing.
When I took the last bus back, I happened to encounter the beautiful night view of the station, and I stayed for a while to take pictures. It was really good luck to say so.In fact, it has nothing to do with luck.

summary:
After the planning and actual combat of this stingy one-day trip, I will summarize the following two points for everyone"Please do not", For your reference.
1. Don't...overestimate your ability to get up early.If you can’t get up early and have plenty of time to take a ride, and you can enjoy more than three attractions, then don’t choose this all-you-can-eat way to ride a ride. If you want to save time, you want to eat and your stomach is too tight, you just want to travel all day. How can I get back to my book by car? I can’t relax my travel mood, so why bother with the donors? !
2. Don't...underestimate the temptation of Tokyo food.The sightseeing bus is to let you go around a lot, the result?As a foreign tourist, it is reasonable to buy something to eat or bring some souvenirs when you arrive at a local attraction. It will break the table if you spend it casually. Don’t be like this for donors who can’t be clear-hearted. I am obsessed with transportation expenses.
postscript:
According to the exclusive accountant of this group, the cost of a stingy one-day tour today is as follows:
1. Tokyo Shimomachi One Day Pass: 2 people * 500 yen/person = 1,000 yen.
2. Round trip on the Toei Asakusa Line (East Nihonbashi-Nihonbashi): 680 yen.
3. Food and beverage expenses: 6,920 yen.
※Note: Meal items include: light breakfast, Ningyo-yaki, senbei, soba noodles, ice cream, McDonald's, curry rice, vending machine drinks... etc., which is not enough to carry.
Mystery Voice: Actually~ you buy a Toei pass (a one-day tour ticket) for 700 yen per adult, and you can use the Toei Subway, Toei Bus, Toden Arakawa Line, and Nippori-Teren for unlimited times in one day. The line is cheaper than buying a one-day bus ticket per person (500 yen) and the Asakusa line round trip (340 yen) = 840 yen.
