Wendy’s Frugal Half-Day Tour of Tokyo

September 5th, 2004

Total Cost, about Y1500 (Y960 for transport, the remainder for snacks).
Time Needed: About 3 1/2 hours.

The day starts with a convenience store run to stock up on provisions, then on to the revamped Ueno Station. Passengers board the scenic (?) Yamanote Line for a 20 minute trip to Hamamatsu-cho, for Y160. A fifteen-minute stroll to the Hinode Pier puts you in line for the Sumida River Cruise, which costs about Y800. The tour is completed with a walk down to Asakusa Shrine and Nakamise Dori. Enjoy!
