DAY 3
TOKYO CULTURAL TOUR
A whirlwind tour of some of Tokyo’s most famous sites! The skies are clear, the buildings are towering, and the music and sounds of the city work like an orchestra, calling out to you. The tour will take place on a bus, where Intermixi will provide a bilingual tour guide for explanations and questions, so you can relax and leave the work to Aka-san and company. Let’s go!
We’ll be visiting sites such as Asakusa (formally an infamous entertainment district, but is now one of the most lovely and relaxing tourist spots in all of the city), we will head to the ever-imposing and ever-impressive Imperial Palace. The thick castle walls will remind you of early Kurosawa films. The Meiji shinto shrine, another must-see temple located a bit closer to the hustle and bustle of the city.
We’ll take a lunch at Harajuku, a spot popular with both fashion-conscious teens as well as trend-hunters from around the world. There are numerous famous stores and restaurants in this area, so you won’t be at a loss when it comes to finding a way to stopping your hunger pangs, or a way to give your wallet a workout.
And a Tokyo Tour just wouldn’t be one without a trip to the Tokyo Tower! Based upon the design of the Eiffel tower (and just a bit taller), Tokyo Tower was originally built to relay transmission signals to the populace of Tokyo. Although it is now outmoded thanks to cable and satellite, that doesn’t mean it isn’t one of the coolest places to visit in the city, with a massive, indescribable view that encapsulates the whole of Tokyo from one small glass room.
