Day 1 : ARRIVE Daily - TOKYO
You'll arrive today at New Tokyo International Airport (Narita). After
clearing immigration, you'll retrieve your baggage and make your way
through customs , and meet our local rep
in the arrivals lobby on the first floor. Welcome to Tokyo! Your
van ride will provide a first view of the Japanese capital, so modern
and familiar, and yet so different. Streets are busy but orderly and
neat, lights and signs glitter everywhere, alternating with serene green
oases. You'll find your room ready at the Kei Plaza Tokyo Hotel, where
you'll be staying for two nights. After you check in, it's time to get
to know Tokyo on your own, and appreciate its urban life: spotless streets,
a pace that's fast but always in control, bicycles left unlocked, vending
machines dispensing superb hot coffee in cans (or whiskey, if you wish),
and signs in English.
Day
2 : TOKYO -Cityrama Tokyo Morning Tour
You'll take a tour of Tokyo this morning, and you'll take in all of
the essentials. Be ready to meet the Sunrise Tour Rep. early morning
! You'll see the Meiji Shrine and its surprisingly tranquil grounds
so near the heart of the city, along with the Imperial East Garden (or,
on Monday or Friday, the Plaza of the Imperial Palace). You'll continue
to the Asakusa Kannon Temple, for an understanding of Japanese spirituality,
so closely tied to the physical environment. Of course, since this is
Japan, you'll see the latest consumer marvels at the Nakamise shopping
arcade.
You'll conclude right in the heart of Tokyo's most exciting district,
the Ginza, full of restaurants, electronic showcases, and avant-garde
shops on every level of its glittering buildings. Continue your adventure
in Tokyo on your own, and make your way back to your lodgings by taxi
or the efficient subway system.
