Day 2 (July 15th): Tokyo
Hotel: Shinagawa Prince Hotel
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Meet with the guide at 10:00 AM at the hotel lobby for a guided tour of Tokyo.
The excursion will start in Asakusa to walk through the iconic Kaminarimon. The atmosphere here is electric, filled with the scent of incense from Senso-ji Temple and the charm of the Nakamise shopping street.
Afterward, we head to Ryogoku, the heart of sumo wrestling, to visit the Edo-Tokyo Museum. This architectural marvel houses life-sized and miniature replicas of Kabuki theaters and traditional merchant houses, offering a vivid look at how a small fishing village transformed into the world’s largest metropolis.
Lunch: Traditional Sumo Wrestler's Stew (Chanko-nabe).
We transition into the neon-lit energy of Shibuya, the epicenter of Japanese youth culture and global fashion. Our first stop is the world-famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing. As the lights turn green, hundreds of people cross from all directions in a perfectly synchronized "organized chaos" that has become the definitive image of modern Tokyo. It is a sensory marvel and the perfect spot for photography.
While in Shibuya, we will also dive into the city's deep-rooted music scene. We’ll visit the ESP Museum/Shop, a high-end gallery for guitar aficionados that showcases custom instruments used by Japan’s top rock icons. Afterward, we head to Tower Records Shibuya. This isn’t just a store; it’s a nine-story cultural landmark. In a world of streaming, this massive flagship remains a testament to Japan's love for physical music, often hosting "in-store" performances and exclusive artist displays.
Transfer to the hotel, time to rest.
Day 3 (July 16th): Nikko
Hotel: Asaya Hotel
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Meet with the guide at 08:30 AM at the hotel lobby for transfer to Nikko.
After checking out of the Tokyo hotel, depart for the scenic mountains of Tochigi Prefecture.
We begin our exploration at the UNESCO World Heritage sites. Toshogu Shrine is the final resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Unlike the typical minimalism of Japanese shrines, Toshogu is breathtakingly ornate, featuring gold leaf, intricate wood carvings (look for the "Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil" monkeys), and vibrant colors. Nearby, we visit Rinno-ji, Nikko’s most important temple, home to three massive gold-leafed statues of Buddha.
Lunch at Edo Wonderland: Traditional Flavors of Old Japan
Step back in time to the 17th century. Edo Wonderland is a cultural theme park that recreates an Edo-period town with incredible accuracy. You’ll see ninjas traversing rooftops and townspeople in period dress.
4:30 PM After a full day of history and culture, moving to the hotel in Nikko.
The day concludes with a relaxing dinner at your hotel, likely featuring seasonal local specialties such as Yuba (tofu skin), a delicacy for which Nikko is famous.
