Tokyo On Your Own

An Ultramodern City Steeped in Imperial History Unravel the mysteries of Tokyo during independent exploration. In this dazzling city, Zen-like gardens and Shinto shrines mingle with towering skyscrapers while the symmetrical cone of Mt. Fuji watches over. You will drive with your guide to the city center and receive a city overview and map on the way. Your drop-off point is Shinjuku, close to the Meiji Shrine and the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden by train or subway. Before parting ways, your escort will inform you of the pick-up place and time. Perhaps you will explore Shinjuku Gyoen, a picturesque park with gardens, once part of a feudal lord’s Tokyo estate. Today, it is the perfect marriage of French, English and Japanese landscape design. You might also join the locals in the upscale shops and sushi bars in Tokyo’s famed Ginza district. Or explore Sensō-ji, the city’s oldest temple and one of its most revered. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
