Our tour starts as we “sneak in Tokyo’s back door”, walking from the airport train to our lodging through an older neighborhood. Our hotel is a clean, inexpensive Ryokan (Japanese Inn) located off the usual tourist path. The true beauty of this hotel is in its marvelous ofuro (Japanese bath - gender restricted: women only from 10 PM to midnight, and men for the other hours it’s open).
Using the hotel as our base of operations, we will travel on Tokyo’s subways, trains, and buses to explore this enticing maze of paradoxes: fascinating ancient traditions colliding with a future going full tilt. We will cram as much as possible into seven crazy days, using our hotel at night to briefly rest. Come with us and you will visit:
- Tsukiji Market
- Met. Gov. Building observation deck
- Hama Rikyu Garden
- Sumida River boat ride
- Nakamise-Dori & Senso-ji Temple
