My trip would be to Sensouji in Asakusa.
 |
| Look at the torii, so pretty and... red |
 |
| Oh look, the side is pretty too |
 |
| This is a very serious situation. At a very serious place. For very serious people. |
The temple itself does not cost anything to enter, but I would still need to bring money since they offer charms and other small omiyage.
 |
| Oh hey like this one |
There are also a number of market stalls in front of the temple, so it would be prudent to have money for that as well.
 |
| Come for the Buddhism, stay for the massive quantity of little stalls in front of it? |
In order to get to the temple, I would have to take several buses, so I would need either money or a transportation card. If I'm smart, I'll download an app that tells me how to get places via public transportation.

| The money-devouring golden ticket to public transportation |
There are many small restaurants near the temple, many of which offer Japanese food, so it would be easy to get something after visiting without having to go too far away. For instance, there is a ramen restaurant roughly 4 minutes walk away from the temple itself.
 |
| Oh thanks google maps, you're great for stalking restaurants |
After eating we could go to the Sumida Park, especially if it's during the spring, as it is only a few minute's walk away from the temple as well.
 |
| If we're lucky, it won't be humid enough to make it feel like we're swimming instead of walking |
Failing that, we could go the the Tokyo Sky Tree, which is also very close by.
 |
| Look at it, towering over the city like it's ゴジラ or something. |
