Step into the peaceful forest surrounding Meiji Shrine, a serene Shinto sanctuary offering a moment of reflection and a deep dive into traditional Japanese spirituality.

We’ll then head to the Imperial Palace. Here, we’ll have a 30-minute stop to admire and photograph the majestic exterior of the Emperor’s official residence. While we won’t enter the palace itself, you’ll be able to enjoy views of its impressive gates, traditional architecture, and the surrounding moats and gardens. From there, we’ll continue to the nearby Hamarikyu Gardens, a tranquil oasis by Tokyo Bay. We’ll spend about 40 minutes here enjoying a peaceful walk among traditional Japanese landscapes, teahouses, and seasonal flowers—all set against a backdrop of the city skyline.

Visit the historic district of Asakusa and explore Senso-ji, Tokyo’s oldest temple. Enjoy free time for sightseeing, shopping, or a traditional lunch (if selected).

The tour concludes at the iconic Tokyo Skytree, one of the tallest structures in the world. Here, you’ll ascend to the observation deck with your guide and take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the city.
