One of the world’s truly great cities, and also one of the most surprising, Tokyo is a thrilling mix of the past and future. Amongst the sci-fi neon signs and cutting-edge architecture, you’ll still find beautiful remnants of Japan’s shogun past waiting to be explored. With some of the world’s best food, unique pop-culture, and nightlife which occasionally defies explanation, Tokyo is an intoxicating place like nowhere else, and an essential part of your Japanese adventure.

Day 1 – Arrival in Tokyo

You’ll be picked up from one of the city’s two main airports and transferred to your hotel near the heart of the city. After you’ve checked in, the rest of the evening is free for you to do whatever you fancy. If you’re feeling a little jaded from the flight then there are plenty of places on your doorstep where you’ll be able to have a little drink and get your first taste of real Japanese cuisine, before turning in for the night.

Day 2 – Explore the city

This morning you can explore at your own pace – find a nice spot for a traditional Japanese breakfast, take a stroll through the tight alleyways of the old Shitamachi area, get a glimpse of the impressive Imperial Palace, or watch the fashionistas in Harajuku. Tokyo’s hi-tech public transport system is an experience in itself and makes it easy and quick to navigate around the various contrasting areas of the city.

Shinjuku bar and speakeasy Tour

This evening you’ll head into the Shibuya neighbourhood, the beating heart of Tokyo. This is the city as you’ve seen it in the films – all neon signs and tiny backstreet bars (known as ‘izakaya’) filled with workers in their suits, winding down after long days in the office. You will make your own way to the meeting point, and your local guide will take it from there, showing around the best of Tokyo’s entertainment.

You’ll stroll around the district, popping into a few well-chosen eateries (Akachochin) and bars (Izakaya) where you can have drinks and try out some delicious food. At the end of the tour you’ll be well-prepped to explore dazzling streets of Tokyo like a true local.

Day 3 – Departure

Unless you choose to extend your stay, today it’s time to leave Tokyo and travel to the next stop on your Japanese journey. You may well be returning at the end of your trip too, so if you’d like to spend a couple more days in this unique metropolis then just speak to your travel specialist so that we can make the arrangements for you.
