Day 3

Day 3 • Tokyo

Begin your tour at the Imperial Palace, home to Japan’s Imperial Family, then on to Asakusa’s Senso-ji, Tokyo’s oldest and most festive temple. Visit the world famous Ginza which is Japan’s quintessential, up-scale shopping district lined with high-fashion/high-tech labels and department stores. Following an afternoon visit to the beautifully serene Meiji Shrine, we are allotted free time in Shinjuku, otherwise known as Tokyo’s playground, with the Shinjuku city guide information provided by Super Value Tours, you can explore the nightlife of this magical city. Here, you can also explore Shinjuku train station, an amazing sprawling mini-metropolis in itself. (Breakfast and Lunch)

Imperial Palace The Imperial Palace is the current home to the Emperor and his family. Surrounded by public parks, the palace is immersed within a sea of majestic bonsai trees, creating a quintessential oasis engulfed within the city. Though public entrance is only permitted twice a year, the castle itself is a relevant cultural symbol and regarded as a must-see site for visitors. Asakusa Asakusa is the well-preserved and still vivacious old Edo district. It is best known for the Sensoji Temple, the oldest and most popular temple in the city where yearly festivals are held. Thousands of locals celebrate here every year to commemorate the life of Buddha. Through the Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) leading to the temple is the famous Nakamise Dori, an area that has won itself a festive reputation, attracting many local specialists who sell unique Japanese delicacies within its crowded streets. Ginza In Ginza, set your soles on some of the most expensive real estate on our planet. This part of Tokyo is the quintessential, high-end shopping mecca for people to see and be seen. In Ginza not everything (or anything) is affordable, but for the same reason people visit Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles or Fifth Avenue in New York, the intrigue is the essence of the surroundings. So whether you’re browsing the extravagant department stores and towering, glossy retail shops or simply lounging with a cup of coffee, relax and enjoy as you watch Tokyo’s high society pass by. Meiji Shrine The Meiji Shrine was built in 1920 for the worship of the Meiji Emperor and his wife, Empress Shoken. The main wooden torii (gateways used to separate sacred spaces from the secular) erected on the walkway to the main sanctum was made from the timber of imported juniper trees at least 1,500 years old. Flourishing trees fill the surrounding gardens and with birds chirping in the background, the atmosphere is peaceful but solemn. Every new year, over three million people visit the Meiji Shrine, making it the most popular place to commemorate the year in Tokyo. It is also where locals come to pay respects to late emperor Meiji’s enshrined soul, making it a place symbolic of celebration and solemn spiritual reverence. Shinjuku Shinjuku is an area otherwise known as Tokyo’s playground where we can explore the nightlife of the magical city. This district exemplifies modern Tokyo and boasts countless movie theaters, department stores, fashion boutiques, shopping plazas, neon signs, restaurants, and a dizzying array of most everything Tokyo has to offer. At Shinjuku Station, Tokyo’s busiest station, an estimated 3.3 million people pass by per day, making it the busiest station in the world. Here, we can also explore Shinjuku train station, a spectacular sprawling mini-metropolis in itself.
