Classic Tokyo Tour

Welcome to Japan! Land in Tokyo airport and feel the order, efficiency, and hospitality the country is famed for. Outside the arrival hall, your assistant will welcome you. Please feel free to ask him any questions about Tokyo before he guides you to the shuttle bus and sees you off to your hotel.

After checking into the hotel, relax or do a little adventure around your hotel on your own.

Start the day at Tsukiji Outer Market. Explore the market to see colorful Japanese ingredients, mouthwatering freshly-cooked foods, and a variety of Japanese kitchen supplies on sale, and try out freshly made Sushi. Continue to the Meiji Shrine cloaked in a lush forested area. Have a pleasant walk to take in its scenic surrounding and learn about the indigenous faith of Shinto in Japan. At lunchtime, your guide will recommend you a popular restaurant to try authentic local flavors.

In the afternoon, move on to historical Asakusa and discover the time-honored Senso-Ji Temple with many locals paying respect to Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy. Nakamise Shopping Street in the temple compound offers chances to seek exotic souvenirs, snacks, and sweets. Later, step into a tea house to partake in Chado and learn basic etiquette and the history of the Japanese tea ceremony. Finally, conclude with the magnificent views of the immense metropolis of Tokyo from the observation deck of the Tokyo Sky Tree. If on a clear day, you may also spot the iconic Mt. Fuji far away.

About 130kms southwest of Tokyo stands Mount Fuji, Japan's highest mountain and cultural icon. Today, a three-hour drive will take you to the 5th station to capture the spectacular views of the revered Mount Fuji, the scenic Fuji Five Lakes, and Hakone National Park.

Later, while cruising on the serene Lake Kawaguchiko, you will be overwhelmed by the elegancy of Mount Fuji again, especially when she is mirrored in the azure and peaceful water lake. If you like, hop on the Kachi Kachi Ropeway to the top of Mt. Fuji for a panorama view of Mt. Fuji instead. Or take the cruise and the ropeway both to take in the beauty of it with different perspectives. Near the lake, visit the village of Iyashi no Sato that is featured some traditional thatched roofed houses. There you can enjoy some leisure time before returning to Tokyo.

Tokyo has more than enough to see, taste, and feel. Today is for you to explore more in it at your own pace. Whether you want to discover traditional Japanese gardens, futuristic shopping malls, foremost art scenes, or animation culture, Tokyo has for you. It will be nice to wander through the outskirt parks of the Imperial Palace or spend the day at Ueno Park boasting picturesque scenery and the largest collection of the nation's important cultural properties, like the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Ueno Zoo, the Ueno Royal Museum.

For animation fans, Studio Ghibli is a good choice. It's famed for producing the animation films such as My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Howl’s Moving Castle. When comes to shopping, the Harajuku with upscale boutiques and youth fashion and the high-end Ginza will satisfy customers of different ages.

Time to say goodbye to Tokyo. Pack your happy memories and overloaded baggage and take the shuttle transfer to the airport for your onward journey to the next destination.
