Japan: TokyoPlus Tour

Itinerary - 4 Days

1. Day 1

   Location

   Tokyo

   Hotel

   Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo

   Arriving to Tokyo - Narita International Airport.
   Welcome to Tokyo! Please make your own way to the hotel.
   
   Our suggestion:
   Why not head to Shibuya crossing and try out some Japanese food (and if you're feeling really adventurous some karaoke)?

2. Day 2

   Location

   Tokyo

   Hotel

   Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo

   Free time in Tokyo!
   
   Our suggestion:
   Check out the old and the new in Asakusa, with Sensoji, a 7th century Buddhist temple, hugely popular at new year and then look up at the Sky Tree, Japan's tallest structure. (You're welcome to go up it and look down at everything else, as well!)

3. Day 3

   Location

   Tokyo

   Hotel

   Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo

   On day 3, you have some decisions to make. Spectacular natural scenery or spectacular man-made scenery?
   
   For natural scenery, you should probably head to Hakone, the best place for views of Fuji. Here you can enjoy amazing views of Fuji across Lake Ashi. You can also take ferry rides or cable cars to get an even better view! (Please be aware, the JR Pass only takes you as far as Odawara station, from there you will need the Hakone Free Pass which costs around £30 and gives you unlimited access to the transport around Hakone, including the ferries and cable cars.)
   
   For culture, shrines and temples, make your way up to Nikko, known as a centre of both Shinto and Buddhism, magnificent temples and shrines sit side-by-side in this amazing home of Japanese spirituality. The mausoleum here to one of Japan's most famous Shogun's is one of a kind, and truly astounding.

4. Day 4

   Location

   Check out from your hotel.
   
   It's time to leave Tokyo behind! Tokyo is fantastic, but your adventure is only just beginning! We wish you safe travels.
