| Enaka Asakusa Dorm |
During my trip around Japan, I stayed in several capsule-like hostels and I can definitely say, Enaka was the best of them. The individual capsules had comfy mattresses, were well lit and even had shelves and a large locker inside, making it feel like a real room. The washing rooms were clean and full of daylight, the showers hot, the free towels large. The staff was kind and helpful, the beautifully designed common room a good place to hang out. The location was perfect, in a quiet alley right in the middle of bustling Asakusa, with Cafés and restaurants everywhere and the metro a mere five minute walk

Tokyo Tower is most iconic place in Tokyo. Make sure you go to there once when the first time in Japan. Its use for broadcast television and you can see arround Tokyo. This is second tallest building in Tokyo with 333 meters.

- Tiket Second Observatory : 1600 Yen

One Piece Museum is new museum in Tokyo Tower. I dont go to One Piece Museum because its too expensive. So i decided to enjoy Main Obvervatory with 900 Yen ticket. You also get souvenir on the Observatory. Enjoying tokyo tower with free wifi access. (I will write about how to enjoy japan without rental wifi and still can connected to the internet soon)

After enjoying Tokyo Tower you can back to hostel in Asakusa and go to Tokyo Skytree. Its the tallest building in Tokyo with 634 meter. This building broadcast television like Tokyo Tower and near Asakusa.
But, if you want to go Tokyo Skytree you need pay more expensive that Tokyo Tower. Here list ticket fare on Tokyo Skytree
- First observatory: 2060 yen
- Second observatory: additional 1030 yen
- (an additional 40-740 yen is charged for time-specific advance reservations)
- For foreign tourists only:
- Fast Skytree Single Ticket (first observatory): 3000 yen
- Fast Skytree Combo Ticket (first and second observatories): 4000 yen
I dont go there because Tokyo Tower more iconic that Tokyo Skytree. So i suggest you to pick Tokyo Tower if you want to save the money.
You can go with this Itinerary, but you can also custom this itinerary. I hope this itinerary will help you plan cheap tokyo trip with Tokyo Metro Subway Pass for 2 Day.
