The crossroads of Kanto

The tour begins with a trip to the Imperial Castle and the Government district with Japanese matsu pines groing in the Imperial Palace’s park, and carps, a sacred fish in Japan, can literally be seen in the channel that surrounds the Palace.

Then, you will move to Ginza, Tokyo’s most luxurious district. This region, adjacent to the Imperial Palace, has been the city's historical center since Japan opened up to the outside world. The symbol of Ginza is the Waco building, the luxury department store, and the Art Nouveau masterpiece. It is located at Ginza Forth Crossing, Tokyo's Times Square. The hieroglyphs "Gin-Za" mean "Silver Workshop" because they minted silver coins there back in medieval times. The world's leading fashion flagship stores, such as Chanel, Dior, Mikimoto, Cartier, and Louis Vuitton, lined up on Ginza Dori Street. All these architectural landmarks were designed by the most famous architects in the world. Ginza is also home to many traditional Japanese shops and luxurious restaurants that have existed here for several decades. Technology fans can enjoy visiting the Nissan Expo Center or check out the variety of gadgets in the Sony Building.

After that, you will visit Shinjuku, Tokyo's downtown. From the 45th floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Building, designed by Kenzo Tange, you will enjoy a stunning view of the city below. On a cloudless day, you can even see Mt. Fuji's silhouette!

Then, it would be the right time to visit the new – world's tallest TV tower – Tokyo Sky Tree. Climb up to the observation deck at an altitude of 345 meters! The tower's four elevators make 600 meters per minute, and each elevator symbolizes one of the four seasons. Interestingly, the height of the tower – 634 meters – is very symbolic. The sequence of these numbers in Japanese is rendered as "mu," "sa," and "si," which is phonetically consonant with "Musashi," which was the ancient name of the site's area.

You will move from your hotel to Yokohama, Japan’s second largest city, an epicenter of new trends and ideas. You will walk into Minato Mirai 21, meaning the Port of Future 21, full of ultramodern architectural masterpieces. Minato Mirai’s centerpiece is the Landmark Tower, built in 1993 by the American Hugh Stubbinson architectural bureau. It is a 300-meter-high skyscraper, one the tallest buildings in the country.

You will walk through Yamashita Park, one of the most beautiful parks in the city. From its observation deck, you will enjoy an unforgettable view of Yokohama Bay and the 890-meter long bridge. You will also check out  "Hikawa Maru" (Queen of the Pacific Ocean) ship, now a museum, forever moored to the pier. And the Marine Tower building –  “Sea Lighthouse”, located near Minato Mirai, is the tallest structure of its kind in the world. After the tour, you will come back to your hotel.
