Hello Carlos! I'm happy to help.
Basically, you can follow this Planetyze itinerary, it starts from 9:30 AM in Asakusa and goes untill 8PM in Shinjuku where you can also enjoy some beer at night.
here's the link to the trip plan: https://planetyze.com/en/japan/tokyo/itinerary/tokyo-golden-1
Also, I made a video commenting on that itinerary, giving tips on each place.

really hope the itinerary and the video is very helpful for you everyone!
We curated this Tokyo itinerary, or Tokyo Tour if you want to call it that way, with real professional tour guides, so you can trust this route is great for knowing many places in Tokyo!
If you want to spend more time in each place, you can divide this in two days.
Here are my reccomendations:
-If you want to spend more time in Asakusa: Go out to the left of Senso-ji temple to the old Geisha streets or to the old streets of Taito to see many izakayas, shops and even places where you can dress as a samurai/gueisha yourself!
-In Akihabara you can better explore the giant stores, play some games in the arcades for a while and visit some crazy cafés such as the Gundam Cafe, the AKB48 cafe or the N3331 Café (which is tin the middle of two trans stations, super interesting!
-In Shibuya, you can visit the VR Park for some crazy virtual world fun, go take a Purikura with your friends in "Purikura no Mecca" or visit the famous fashion building 109 (ichi maru kyu).
-After visiting the Meiji Jingu Shrine, you can take a walk in the beautiful and vast Yoyogi park!
-In Harajuku, at the end of Takeshita Street, you can cross the avenue and go to Kawaii Monster Cafe. Super crazy café, look it up!
-In shinjuku you can also visit the Golden Gai and the Memory Lane (omoide yokocho)
I hope you guys liked this video, please tell me if you plan to use it or have been to these places! And please share to your friends =D
