TOKYO SKYTREE & Solamachi shopping
Visit one of Tokyo’s must-see destinations, the world’s tallest free-standing broadcasting tower. You can also enjoy the 300-odd shops and restaurants at the foot of the tower, collectively known as Tokyo Solamachi. This area strives to embrace new trends while preserving the atmosphere of old Tokyo.
Asakusa & Tokyo River Cruise
Asakusa retains the atmosphere of the old Tokyo townscape, illustrated by Nakamise-dori in front of Sensoji Temple, with its many traditional crafts and Japanese sweets shops. After taking a walk in Asakusa, enjoy a Tokyo River Cruise. This boat cruise down the Sumida River travels under some 14 bridges, showing the capital’s famous landmarks along the way.
Kanda Myojin shrine & Akihabara shopping
With the official name “Kanda Shrine,” this site is the guardian deity of Kanda, Nihonbashi, Akihabara, Otemarunouchi, the former Kanda Market, Toyosu Fish Market, and 108 town councils in the center of Tokyo. In contrast, Akihabara, known as one of the best electronics districts in Japan, is a short walk away. While the area is crowded with stores selling electrical and IT products, it is also a hub of subculture with stores selling games, manga, and anime, and is also known as a mecca for "cosplayers" dressed up in costumes of popular idols and anime characters.
Tokyo night tour
This tour visits popular sightseeing spots like Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Odaiba, Ginza, and Tokyo Sky Tree, with impressive night views. You can enjoy a dynamic sightseeing experience that differs greatly from the daytime scenery.
Asakusa & SKYTREE night tour
Senso-ji Temple, the Kaminarimon, the main hall, and the five-story pagoda are all lit up at night. The orange light on the vermilion buildings is even more beautiful and fantastic than in the early morning. At the Sky Tree, you can see the lights of the city as far as the eye can see, enjoy taking pictures, and appreciate amazing views. In addition, the Sky Tree is illuminated from around sunset to 24:00 every day, and it beautifully illuminates the night of Asakusa.
