At Last! Personalized service in Japan
without the exorbitant price. This unforgettable 5-night program
offers the discriminating traveler a unique opportunity to experience Japan like no other.
Accompanied by your very own private guide, we explore and
sample the myriad of
fantastic sights, local cuisines and genuine everyday culture in and
around Tokyo -- your way .
Starting with Tokyo, arguably the
Planet's most modern metropolis
renowned for its vivacious energy and
contrasts between the old and the new, we master the city's
expansive, often intimidating subway system in the comfort of your
personal guide. Sightseeing in Tokyo includes the renowned Tsukiji Outer Fish
Market, Tokyo Tower, Kannon Temple and its colorful Asakusa Nakamise Shopping
Arcade, and the glamorous Ginza District. With food being a integral
part of the Japanese culture, our guests enjoy a chance to acquire
or
sharpen their Japanese culinary skills with a fabulous Sushi,
Tempura or Teriyaki lesson!
Next, we embark on a time journey from
the hustle & bustle of Tokyo to
the tranquil castle town of Kawagoe. A hidden gem located only 45
minutes from Tokyo, this little town often referred to as "Little
Edo", never ceases to delight the visitor with its heritage and
atmosphere of Old Japan dating back to the 15th Century. Here,
sample Kawagoe's famous local candy and soy sauce and stroll through
this sanctuary of unsurpassed charm while immersing yourself in the mystique of Ancient
Edo.
No visit to Japan is complete without
a sighting of legendary Mt. Fuji. Using public transportation,
and your guide as the compass, we embark on a scenic adventure to
Hakone, home to its revered Fuji-san, where we enjoy a
ride on the Hakone Ropeway, boat cruise on Lake Ashi and explore the
various sites within Owakudani Valley. We cap off the day with an exhilarating ride on a speeding Bullet [Train] traveling in excess of 180mph
that zooms you back to Tokyo in just 30 minutes!
From ultra-modern skyscrapers to
ancient temples & shrines; colorful shopping arcades to lush tranquil countrysides;
Kawagoe's cobbled streets to Roppongi's bustling nightlife. They're all here. Get ready for the Japan experience of
a lifetime!
