Tokyo in 24 hours

My husband and I are planning a 24 hour stop-over in Tokyo in January. We are planning to store our large luggage at the airport, spend the evening in the Ginza area, where we will be staying, and sightsee and shop until we return to the airport for an evening flight. I would love any suggestions for dining, shopping, or sightseeing. One possibility is to go to the fish market early in the morning, have breakfast there, and then head to the Senso-ji Temple for an 11:00 o'clock free tour. Afterwards, we can shop around the area and return to Ginza to spend time there. Does this sound reasonable or should be get a private guide? Any suggestions welcome and thank you in advance.

No need for a private guide. Your plan sounds reasonable.

I agree with Kathie. You might consider a stop at the Meiji Shrine as well.

Do you have a full 24h in Tokyo? I would recommend getting a night view of Tokyo from a high point somewhere because the skyline is amazing. There are a few options for this but I really enjoyed the view from the Mori Tower (access through the Mori modern art museum). It's open till late, and easily accessible via a short walk from the Metro.

Yes, we arrive in the late afternoon and leave the following evening. I will look into the Mori Tower. Thanks.
