Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Guided City Tour of Tokyo
Your first day in Tokyo will consist of a fully guided tour of the most authentic hotspots of Tokyo that represent its Japanese history and culture. The tour will feature sightseeing as well as entry into some of the country's prestigious pieces of Japanese architecture such as the Meiji Shrine and the Sensoji Temple. Meiji Shrine is a serene Shinto sanctuary dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Surrounded by a lush forest, it provides a peaceful retreat from the city's fast pace. Sensoji Temple, Tokyo's oldest temple, sits in Asakusa and is dedicated to the Bodhisattva Kannon. Known for its grand gate and bustling shopping street, it remains an important site for both locals and visitors seeking spiritual solace. Tokyo has several government-run observatories that offer public access for stargazing and educational purposes which you will also have the opportunity to visit. These observatories provide opportunities for the public to learn about astronomy, weather, and the science behind these fields. However, many are more research-focused and may require special permission or scheduled events to visit. Later, you will be taken through Nakamise Shopping Street, the Ginza district, and the beautiful Imperial Palace Square and Nijubashi Bridge, all of which will have photo stops for your memories.
