Seven days in Tokyo built around its oldest temples and its busiest modern crossings, with two drives out west. You keep a car, so each day parks once, walks a loop through the neighbourhood, and drives on when the light changes. Lodging is a placeholder around Ueno, which keeps every day's start and end close to the Yanaka and Asakusa old town.
