¥25,000Yanaka, Ueno & Evening Cruise
Morning coffee at Yanaka district

¥800Yanaka Cemetery stroll
Sounds unusual but this tree-lined cemetery is one of Tokyo's best cherry blossom spots. Peaceful paths, historic graves, and neighborhood cats everywhere.
Lunch at Hantei (kushiage)
Beautiful 3-story wooden building from 1917 serving deep-fried skewers. The set lunch (¥1,500) is a steal for the quality and atmosphere. A hidden gem.

¥12,000Travel Tips
- Book omakase restaurants 2-4 weeks ahead through your hotel concierge — small counters fill up fast
- The Yurikamome monorail to Odaiba crosses Rainbow Bridge — sit in the front car for the best view
- For cherry blossom season, Yanaka Cemetery and Meguro River are more romantic than Ueno Park (less crowded)
- Love hotels in Shibuya/Shinjuku are surprisingly nice and cheaper than regular hotels — some have jacuzzi rooms and themed suites from ¥8,000
- Buy matching phone charms or tenugui towels from temple gift shops — cute couple souvenirs
- Skip Disneyland unless you're both fans — Tokyo has better couples activities that you can't get anywhere else
