TokyoUpon arrival in Tokyo and after baggage and passport procedures, we begin our panoramic Tokyo city tour with our private vehicle.

You may buy gifts for your loved ones on Nakamise Street, Japan’s first open-air shopping arcade with more than 70 shops. We continue with Ginza, Japan’s luxury shopping district and perhaps the most famous avenue in the world. Formerly Japan’s silver mint until 1800, Ginza became a luxury shopping center after the Great Kanto Earthquake, and its name comes from the combination of the kanji for “silver (gin)” and “place (za).” In the final part of our tour, we experience Shibuya Crossing, the pedestrian crossing used by millions of people every day and tens of thousands at the same time. As they say, “A Tokyo tour is not complete unless you step on Shibuya.” At the end of the tour, we transfer to our Tokyo hotel. Overnight at the hotel.

In this village, where you can experience local items and local foods you cannot see anywhere else, we recommend trying Japanese mochi rice cake at its freshest and best.
