The First visit is Imperial Palace. The Imperial Palace is located on the former site of Edo Castle, a large park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in the center of Tokyo. It is the residence of the present Emperor and Empress. We stop at Nijubashi-mae to take photos.

We then head to Asakusa, the most popular sightseeing spot in Tokyo which is reminiscent of the Edo period. This district has flourished as a temple town of Senso-ji, the oldest and the largest temple in the district. The Kaminarimon, or Thunder Gate, is the outer gate of the temple that is a very famous landmark of Asakusa for its huge red lantern. Nakamise street is a nice shopping street that is over 200m long, leading to the Senso-ji temple, the best place to buy traditional Japanese souvenirs in Tokyo.
In the afternoon, we will visit the Meiji-shrine, which is dedicated to the deified spirit of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Located in the forest near the busy shopping area of Harajuku. After that, you can enjoy shopping at Takeshita street which is popular among young teenagers, or Omotesando street for some grown-up luxury (window) shopping.
Of course we’ll pass the Shibuya crossing , which is one of the world’s busiest pedestrian crossings. It is always crowded with people crossing in 5 different directions without bumping into each other.

Day 3 : March 29th : Tokyo – Mt Fuji – Tokyo
We will take a one-day excursion to Mt. Fuji and the Kawaguchi-ko lake area.
First, we will take the Fuji Subaru line road to Mt. Fuji’s 5th station by bus. Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan and listed as a World Heritage Site. This is the place from where many people start climbing Mt. Fuji.
Our lunch today is ‘houtou’, which is Yamanashi Prefecture’s delicious local noodle-type. Houtou is originally the name of the thick and flat noodles made from wheat. It is cooked in miso-based soup with lots of vegetables that are in season such as pumpkins, carrots, radishes, and mushrooms. There are 5 lakes around Mt. Fuji, and Lake Kawaguchi is one of the biggest with various tourist facilities. The Mount Fuji Panoramic Kachi Kachi Yama Ropeway ascends 400 meters from the eastern shore of Lake Kawaguchi to an observation deck near the peak of Mt Tenjo. From the observation deck, which sits more than 1000 meters above sea level, you can see panoramic views of the lake below and of Mount Fuji.

Today we start the day by getting on the super-fast shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto.The first visit in Kyoto will be the impressive Fushimi Inari Taisha, which is the head shrine of about 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan. This shrine is especially renowned for its pairs of stone fox statues as well as the thousands of orange torii gates lined up along the pathway to Mt.Inari, each of which bears the name of its donor.
We then proceed to sake (rice wine) brewery. The development of Fushimi as a sake production site began around 4 centuries ago when Fushimi port was developed as a part of the construction work for Fushimi castle. High-quality rice and pure water are essential to make good sake. You will learn about the sake-making process, and of course, get the chance to taste some great sake here.
Then we head to Nara, which was the first permanent capital in Japan. In Nara, we visit the Todaiji temple and Nara Park. Nara Park is located near Todaiji temple and is famous for the many tame deer. You can feed them special crackers called Shika-sembei if you want.
