General information
Program details
The tour sets off from the Hamamatsucho Bus Terminal from where we make our way to the unmistakable Tokyo Tower, which stands proud at 333m overlooking the city. Ride 250m up to its observation deck where spectacular views over metropolitan Tokyo will unfold before your eyes. After a brush with modern Tokyo, it’s then time to take in a traditional custom with a traditional tea ceremony experience before having a Japanese-style lunch.
Next stop is the Imperial Palace Plaza to admire Nijubashi Bridge and the surrounding scenery of the National Garden which forms part of the palace grounds open to the public. We continue our afternoon with a leisurely 40 minute cruise along the Sumida River for a different view of modern day Tokyo.
Of the 33 temples in Eastern Japan dedicated to the Goddess Kannon, Asakusa Kannon is the only one in the capital. Visit this historic area which includes Nakamise-dori, the street leading to the temple, and head straight back into modern Tokyo with a drive through the dazzling luxury shopping area of Ginza. The tour then ends at Tokyo Station, from where you can enjoy an evening in this sparkling capital city.

As the schedule of Sumida River Cruise will be altered during cherry blossom season (except period: Mid-March to Early April), the final arrival time maybe delayed. During the period, the Sumida River Cruise ride may be changed to cherry blossom viewing at Sumida Park, due to congestion.
Sumida River Cruise may be cancelled without notice depending on river conditions. In this case, the guide will announce the change in schedule.
The tour may spend some time at the Hamarikyu Gardens, depending on the reservation time of the Sumida River Cruise.
