On arrival in Tokyo, you’ll be met and assisted to your private transfer that will take you to your choice of hotel in the center of town.
In the engaging company of your experienced personal guide, you’ll join city residents on Tokyo’s modern public transportation to visit the must-see sites. Ascend Tokyo Tower for breathtaking views over the entire metropolitan region; on a clear day, you can even see majestic Mt. Fuji rising in the distance. Stopping at the Imperial Palace Plaza, you’ll get a glimpse into the life of the Imperial family as you learn about their history and the recent ascension of Emperor Naruhito. Next, you'll visit the Asakusa Kannon Temple. Founded in the 7th century to honor Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy, this is the oldest temple in the city. The outer entrance to this Buddhist Temple is through the impressive 1,000-year-old Kaminari-mon or Thunder Gate. Inside the gate, you'll continue along the busy Nakamise Arcade toward the temple itself, a fascinating stroll that takes you past shops and merchant stalls selling traditional sweets, savory snacks, colorful handicrafts, and souvenirs. Back at your hotel, your private guide can offer recommendations for dining, shopping and exploring on your own to make the most of your free afternoon and evening. Meals B

Accompanied by your private guide this morning, leave the bustling city behind and travel into the tranquil countryside landscapes and beautifully forested mountain vistas of Hakone National Park.

After a Japanese-style lunch, a cruise on the placid waters of Lake Ashi offers a chance to relax and take in some of the Park’s most enchanting views. Then ride the Mt. Komagatake Cable Car to the summit for a thrilling and entirely different, aerial view over Hakone’s forested mountains and pristine lakes. This day ends at your choice of hot spring resort.

Then visit Kinkaku-ji Temple, the oft-photographed golden pavilion that shimmers in its tranquil setting surrounded by pine forests on the edge of a quiet pond. Your sightseeing ends at the Kyoto Imperial Palace that served as the residence for the Imperial Family until 1868 when the Emperor and capital moved to Tokyo. Your afternoon is free to enjoy as you wish, and your guide will be happy to offer personalized recommendations for dining, shopping exploring on your own. Meals B
