3 Days in Tokyo: Itinerary 2026

This is a solid itinerary. I'd suggest swapping the order of day one a bit. Meiji Jingu is right next to Harajuku, so you can hit the shrine first thing when it's quiet, then walk through the grounds...

Lost in Trastevere

So, I was near the Commissariato Porta Maggiore the other day, trying to find that little trattoria my Nonna used to rave about, the one with the amazing cacio e pepe. Completely lost, naturally. I as...

Lost in Caesar's Shadow?

So, I'm heading to Liceo Classico Statale "Giulio Cesare" next week for a conference. I've heard stories, whispers, really, about hidden nooks and crannies within the building, secret staircases maybe...
