Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Your tour begins as you board your motorcoach for a scenic, 60-minute drive from Yokohama to fascinating Tokyo. Your route affords you a glimpse at the world's largest city, taking in such sites as the modern skyscrapers, Ginza district and other landmarks in the city's center.
First on your itinerary is Meiji Shrine. Emperor Meiji was instrumental in opening Japan to the outside world in the late 1800s, ushering in the Meiji Restoration that brought the rule of the Tokugawa (shogun) government to an end. After the deaths of the emperor and empress, the Meiji Shrine was constructed to enshrine their souls. It was dedicated on November 1, 1920. Upon arriving at this great monument, you'll enter the shrine through twin 40 feet tall Torii gates, one of the largest in Japan.
Your tour continues to Sensoji Temple. Legend has it that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon out of the Sumida River, then they made the temple to enshrine the statue. Consequently, Sensoji was built there for the goddess of Kannon.
You'll enter through the Nitenmon or Kaminarimon Gate, bedecked, with a huge red paper lantern, to view the shrine. You'll have some free time to stroll down Nakamise-dori, the "Street of Inside Shops," an alley lined with traditional vendors selling snacks, souvenirs and handmade crafts.
Grab a snack before rejoining your tour coach for the journey to Narita Airport.
