March 28, 2025: Tokyo Cherry Blossom Season Solo Trip (5 Days, 4 Nights) - Day 4 Itinerary Revealed (3. Asakusa)

This year, I went to Japan for the first time during cherry blossom season. I'd always wanted to travel during cherry blossom season, but airfare was incredibly expensive. This time, I found a great deal on a spot flight. Round-trip flights from Taipei to Tokyo were only NT$8,900 on Scoot. If you're looking for a ticket for cherry blossom season under NT$10,000, don't hesitate to buy it! I bought my flight, booked my accommodations, confirmed my insurance, and even finalized my itinerary within a month. I felt incredibly efficient! 👍🏻 This was also my first solo trip, and I tried to savor every attraction. I let go of my daily worries and constantly engaged in conversation with myself, reflecting on my current state of mind. I slowed down, relieved my usual tension and stress, and didn't need to match everyone else's pace. When I got tired, I just went back to the hotel to rest and savored my own time. Traveling with friends offers the joy of a group tour, but traveling alone also offers its own healing power! 🌟Trip Objective: Enjoy cherry blossoms during cherry blossom season, including at night🌸 🌟Departure Date: Tuesday, March 25, 2025 🌟Return Date: Saturday, March 29, 2025 🗓️Itinerary: (Cherry blossom viewing activities are indicated with a cherry blossom icon 🌸 below!) 2025.03.28 Day 4: 3.12:40 PM Asakusa Area🌸 🌟Store Information: Asakusa (Sensō-ji Temple, Nakamise-dori, Hanayashiki, Sumida River, and the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center). 📍Address: 2 Chome-3-1 Asakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0032, Japan 🈺Hours: Store hours and holidays are subject to change.
