A couple of hours is enough for Senso-ji and old Asakusa, which is why most half-day temple tours stay there. For something different, Gotokuji in Setagaya is the temple of the beckoning cat, its shelves lined with thousands of white maneki-neko. One tour pairs it with a cat café.
See Senso-ji, sample Asakusa snacks, and browse knife and samurai shops on this affordable two-hour Tokyo walking tour.

Tokyo rewards a plan: a sumo morning, a ramen night, a day out to Fuji. These are the lists I'd work from.
