🗾 Tokyo Itinerary: Slow Travel through Nippori & Yanaka
Explore Tokyo beyond the obvious with this thoughtfully crafted, unsponsored itinerary created by Risa—not for social media, but for those who travel to feel, connect, and discover.
 
✨ Ideal for:
Slow travellers, Japan lovers, makers, culture enthusiasts, cat fans, and craft seekers.
 
🧭 What to Expect:
📍 3-day itinerary through Nippori–Yanaka, divided into zones to minimise daily walking distance and maximise cultural depth.
🚶‍♀️ Designed for active travellers – around 15,000–20,000 steps per day.
📅 Best enjoyed Wednesday to Friday, when key shops are open and crowds are fewer.
🍵 A slow, mindful experience—no rushing between major sights. Instead, explore backstreets, hidden gems, and local favourites.
 
⚠️ Good to Know:
Not barrier-free – mobility accessibility is not considered in this guide.
No booking service included – all reservations must be made independently. Some may require using Japanese-only forms (Google Translate is your friend!).
Flexible by design – listen to your body, share meals, skip or reorder stops. It's your journey.
 
💬 Risa’s Note:
This is the route I would take if I could return—slowly, intentionally, with time to savour. It’s a collection of shops, cafés, and corners that moved me, not a checklist.
Unexpected moments and discoveries await, especially in this nostalgic, treasure-filled area. Let this guide support your trip—but don’t let it define it. Your best memories will come from what you notice in between.
