After meeting your guide in the lobby, you will go to downtown to see the majestic building of the Parliament, the Imperial Palace Park with Japanese Matsu pine trees, plus the double-arched stone bridge of Nijubashi, the Asakusa Kannon temple, the Yagoda temple, and eight ancient Buddha statues, and, finally, Nakamise street, where you can buy authentic and inexpensive souvenirs. Then, you will relocate to Ginza to see the Sony exhibition center, the Smart toy store, and the Pearl Gallery.
Later, you will move to Odaiba island, built in Tokyo Bay in the 1850s to keep enemy ships out. Let's start a picturesque journey around the island: from Deisan Historical Park with the remains of defensive structures to the futuristic Fuji TV building. Finally, ride the giant 115-meter-high Ferris wheel to enjoy a stunning view of the evening Tokyo skyline.
There’s something quietly poetic about Japanese whisky. It’s not loud or smoky like a Scotch, nor as sweet as an American bourbon. Instead, it whispers — soft, balanced, touched by mist and mountain air. To understand it, you have to go where it’s born: deep into Japan’s forests, foothills, and alpine valleys.
You will visit the ancient Japanese village of Shirakawa-go, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A special feature of the village is its architecture, typical of Japan's snowy regions: three or four-story houses are built in the gassho-zukuri style, meaning hands in prayer style.. The thatched roofs of the houses feature a very steep angle of inclination so that snow does not accumulate on them, and shaped like hands folded in prayer.
