The tour was extremely well organised. Our guide was informative and very professional and made sure our needs to cater for well. The three venues , the Imperial Oalace, Akakusa Temple Complex and the Tokyo Sky Tower are the three highlights of our visit to Tokyo and resulted in many photos as well as tips for places to visit independently eg.Uneono Gardens.

Full description

Visit 3 must-see spots in Tokyo on this afternoon tour in an eco-friendly hybrid bus. Discover the Imperial Palace Garden, explore Asakusa Kannon Temple (Sensō-ji), and take in stunning city views from Tokyo Tower.

Head to the meeting point to board the hybrid bus and meet your guide for the tour. Then, after being guided to Nijubashi Bridge, make your first stop at the Imperial Palace. Admire the mighty ancient walls and picturesque guarding towers.

Next, continue to Asakusa Kannon Temple, also known as Sensō-ji, the oldest temple in Tokyo. Listen to your guide's commentary about the temple's ancient craftsmanship, then get some free time to stroll around independently.

Part of the complex is also a 200-meter-long traditional shopping street called Nakamise. Enjoy the chance to shop for souvenirs and try local snacks and meals, at your own expense.

Afterward, visit the main observatory in Tokyo Tower, one of the symbols of the Japanese capital city. Admire scenic city views from 150 meters above the ground, and even spot Mount Fuji if the weather is clear. The tour then concludes at the original starting point.
