Tokyo is a whirlwind of a city, with so much to see, do, and eat. And while the city deserves to be explored extensively, you may not have the luxury of time. But even if Tokyo is a stopover on your Japan trip, or a layover on your way to your next destination, you can still build a solid 24-hours Tokyo Itinerary and see some of the city’s best.
