Imperial Palace - This tour does not include access to the interior of the Imperial Palace
The current Imperial Palace is situated on the former site of Edo Castle, featuring a large park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in central Tokyo, a short walk from Tokyo Station. It serves as the residence of Japan’s Imperial Family.

Edo Castle was once the seat of the Tokugawa shogun who governed Japan from 1603 until 1867. In 1868, the shogunate was overthrown, and the capital and imperial residence were relocated from Kyoto to Tokyo. The construction of a new Imperial Palace was completed in 1888. The palace was destroyed during World War Two and later rebuilt in the same style.

Tokyo National Museum - The Tokyo National Museum (東京国立博物館, Tōkyō Kokuritsu Hakubutsukan) is Japan’s oldest and largest national museum, alongside the Kyoto, Nara, and Kyushu National Museums. Initially established in 1972 at Yushima Seido Shrine, it moved to its current location in Ueno Park a few years later.

The museum boasts one of Japan’s largest and finest collections of art and archaeological artifacts, comprising over 110,000 items, including nearly a hundred national treasures. At any given time, about 4,000 items from the permanent collection are on display, along with regular temporary exhibitions. Comprehensive English information and audio guides are available.

Recently, it has become recognized as the hub of Japan’s otaku (enthusiast) culture, with many anime and manga shops interspersed among the electronics stores. On Sundays, Chuo Dori, the district’s main street, is closed to car traffic from 13:00 to 18:00 (until 17:00 from October through March).

Hamarikyu Gardens - Hama Rikyu (浜離宮, Hama Rikyū) is a large, picturesque landscape garden in central Tokyo.

The traditional garden contrasts sharply with the skyscrapers of the nearby Shiodome district.

Shibamata - Shibamata (柴又) is a neighborhood on Tokyo’s eastern edge, near the Edogawa River, the natural border between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. The town retains its nostalgic charm and offers a perfect escape from modern Tokyo. A key attraction is the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple, located near the station.

Nezu - Having remarkably avoided major damage during world wars and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezu—two neighborhoods that form part of shitamachi, Tokyo’s old downtown—maintain their historical charm. Discover historical sites like Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine nestled among shitamachi’s narrow alleys, traditional wooden houses, izakaya pubs, atmospheric coffee shops, and retro stores selling old-fashioned sweets and snacks. Experience a slower-paced, more genteel Tokyo.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden - Shinjuku Gyoen is one of Tokyo’s largest and most popular parks. Located a short walk from Shinjuku Station, the park’s expansive lawns, winding paths, and serene scenery provide a peaceful retreat from the bustling urban center. In spring, Shinjuku Gyoen is one of the city’s top cherry blossom viewing spots.

Rikugien Garden - Rikugien (六義園) is often regarded as Tokyo’s most beautiful Japanese landscape garden, alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Built around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien means “six poems garden” and recreates 88 scenes from famous poems in miniature. The garden exemplifies an Edo Period strolling garden, featuring a large central pond surrounded by manmade hills and forested areas, all connected by a network of trails.

Yoyogi Park - Yoyogi Park (代々木公園, Yoyogi Kōen) is one of Tokyo’s largest city parks, offering wide lawns, ponds, and forested areas. It is ideal for jogging, picnicking, and other outdoor activities.

Although Yoyogi Park has fewer cherry trees compared to other Tokyo sites, it is a pleasant cherry blossom viewing spot in spring. Additionally, it is known for its ginkgo tree forest, which turns a vibrant golden color in autumn.

Takeshita Street - Harajuku (原宿) refers to the area around Tokyo’s Harajuku Station, situated between Shinjuku and Shibuya on the Yamanote Line. It is the epicenter of Japan’s most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles, but also offers shopping for adults and some historic sights.

The heart of Harajuku’s teenage culture is Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) and its side streets, lined with trendy shops, fashion boutiques, used clothing stores, crepe stands, and fast-food outlets catering to fashion-conscious teens.

Meiji Jingu Shrine - Meiji Shrine (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū) is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Located next to the JR Yamanote Line’s busy Harajuku Station, Meiji Shrine and the adjacent Yoyogi Park form a large forested area within the densely built city. The spacious shrine grounds offer walking paths perfect for a leisurely stroll.

The shrine was completed and dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken in 1920, eight years after the emperor’s passing and six years after the empress’s passing. It was destroyed during World War II but was rebuilt shortly thereafter.

Shibuya Crossing - This tour provides an efficient way to explore Tokyo in one day. Start at your hotel and travel to any desired location.

Koishikawa Korakuen Garden - Koishikawa Korakuen (小石川後楽園, Koishikawa Kōrakuen) is one of Tokyo’s oldest and finest Japanese gardens. Constructed in the early Edo Period (1600-1867) at the Tokyo residence of the Mito branch of the ruling Tokugawa family, the garden was named Korakuen after a poem encouraging a ruler to enjoy pleasure only after ensuring his people’s happiness. Koishikawa is the district where the garden is located.

Kabukicho - Golden Gai is said to have originated around 1950 when the black market that had emerged in front of Shinjuku Station relocated, and numerous eating and drinking establishments were established in this new area. Although Shinjuku has undergone significant modernization since then, Golden Gai has remained largely unchanged.

The alley is narrow and crowded with countless signs advertising the various establishments lining the way. Many of the buildings are wooden, remnants from the Showa Era. Most measure only around thirteen square meters (142 square feet). It’s a lively, bustling place filled with the aroma of grilling meats. Despite the abundance of sleek new restaurants in Shinjuku, this little alley continues to attract foreign tourists. Golden Gai is a popular “un-touristy” tourist spot.

Tokyo Tower - Access is limited to the main deck; the top deck is not included

Odaiba District - Odaiba (お台場) is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. It originated as a series of small man-made fort islands (daiba means “fort”), constructed towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo from potential sea attacks, specifically in response to Commodore Perry’s gunboat diplomacy.

Over a century later, the small islands were merged into larger ones through massive landfills, and Tokyo embarked on a spectacular development project to transform the islands into a futuristic residential and business district during the extravagant 1980s. However, development slowed significantly after the “bubble economy” burst in the early 1990s, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.
