The seven guides

Open a district when you want the walking order, the places in that area, and the itinerary days that use it. Place pages still hold the station exit and the hours source. This list does not copy those timetables and does not add a synonym URL for the same neighborhood.

The neighborhoods map is the map of the same seven areas. Use it when you want to see them together. Use this page when you want the guide. Where-to-stay answers the hotel-area question without a hotel affiliate program on these guides.

  • Shibuya

    Tokyo's youth and fashion hub, built around the world-famous scramble crossing, endless shopping and a lively after-dark scene.

  • Shinjuku

    Tokyo's busiest district: neon-lit entertainment alleys, calm gardens, giant department stores and one of the world's largest stations.

  • Asakusa

    Old Tokyo at its best: Senso-ji temple, market-lined approach streets and river views across to the Skytree.

  • Ueno

    Tokyo's museum quarter wrapped around a sprawling park, with a zoo, temples and the bargain-packed Ameyoko market nearby.

  • Akihabara

    Tokyo's electric town — multi-story electronics shops, anime and game stores, arcades and a shrine where tech gets blessed.

  • Ginza

    Tokyo's upscale shopping and dining district, home to flagship stores, kabuki theater and the bustling Tsukiji food scene.

  • Minato

    A central ward of landmarks and greenery — anchored by Tokyo Tower and the temple grounds of Zojo-ji at its foot.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the Tokyo neighborhoods map?

No. The map is the neighborhoods map page. This page is the directory of the seven written district guides.

Which district should I stay in?

That decision is on the where-to-stay page. If the choice is only Shibuya or Shinjuku, use the comparison page. This directory does not rank hotels.

How many districts are in the guide?

Seven: Shibuya, Shinjuku, Asakusa, Ueno, Akihabara, Ginza, and Minato. Each has its own URL. Places inside them keep their own URLs too.

Do day trips appear as districts?

No. Hakone, Kamakura, and the other rides are on the day trips guide. They are not Tokyo districts in this pack.
