Join Charles Huang, the world’s most famous backpacker, on an epic DIY Layover: Tokyo Edition adventure! In under 8 hours and with just a $10 Toei Subway day pass, Charles hits all the best Tokyo spots—from Ueno Park’s rich history to the stunning Shinobazu Pond and Shinobazunoike Benten Temple. We’ll grab snacks and drinks at Ameyoko’s vibrant izakayas and share tips on staying cool during Tokyo’s summer heat with free water fountains around the city.
But that’s not all! Charles is also spilling insider travel tips, including how to grab cash from ATMs while avoiding the infamous DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion) ripoff. 💸 End the adventure with a trip to Akihabara Electric Town and, for the curious, a visit to one of Tokyo’s oldest local temples—Tsubaki Joryuji—for an inside look at Nichiren Buddhism and the Lotus Sutra. All this packed into one whirlwind layover—let’s do this! 🚶♂️🍣🇯🇵 #TokyoTravel #DIYLayover #CharlesHuang #UenoPark #Akihabara #Ameyoko #TravelHacks #AvoidDCC #NichirenBuddhism #tokyolayover
