Tokyo Itineraries
Choose one Tokyo itinerary URL by length: 3, 4, 5, or 7 days. Map routes stay separate so a written plan does not split into a synonym page.

Written plans and playable routes
The 3-day and 5-day pages are the written versions of routes you can play on the map. Open the itinerary to read the order, then use the play link on that page. The route URL is the playback, not a second opinion about how many days you need.
The 4-day and 7-day pages are written only. They point at the 5-day route when a map preview helps, and they say so. That keeps a 4-day search on the 4-day URL and a 5-day search on the 5-day URL.
Day trips are not extra chapters buried in these pages. Hakone, Kamakura, Nikko, Mount Fuji and Kawaguchiko, Yokohama, and Kawagoe are compared on the day trips guide. Hakone, Kamakura, Nikko, and Mount Fuji also have their own pages. Swap a city day only after you read those, and do not expect a Japan rail pass to be the default ticket.

Frequently asked questions
Which Tokyo itinerary should I use?
Use 3 days for a first city visit, 4 days if you want Shibuya and Shinjuku apart, 5 days for the highlights route, and 7 days for a week that stays in Tokyo. Open only that page.
Where is the 2 day or 10 day plan?
A 2-day plan is not a separate URL. A 10-day Japan itinerary is a different trip and is not published under Tokyo. Use the 3-day page or the day-trips guide instead of a near-duplicate.
Do the route pages replace these itineraries?
No. Route pages play a saved sequence on the map. The itinerary pages are the plans. The 3-day and 5-day pair is linked. The 4-day and 7-day plans do not have their own routes.
Which page covers Hakone?
The Hakone day trip guide. The day trips page is the comparison of several destinations. Itineraries only tell you which city day you would swap.
