Experience Tokyo, an astounding city where the 21st century coexists with the spirit of ancient Japan. A scenic drive through Tokyo affords you a glimpse at the modern Fuji Television, Ginza district and other landmarks in the city's center. Your first photo stop is park surrounding the Imperial Palace, where you'll explore the exterior of the palace's spacious grounds surrounded by moats, then make your way to Nijubashi Bridge, a picturesque two-tier bridge, for a photo opportunity. Next, you'll visit Meiji Shrine, an imposing structure with twin 40 feet tall Torii gates, one of the largest in Japan. Your tour continues to Sensoji Temple (Asakusa Kannon Temple), the oldest temple in Tokyo. You'll marvel at Nitenmon or Kaminarimon Gate, bedecked with a huge red paper lantern, and Nakamise-dori, the "Street of Inside Shops," an alley lined with souvenirs and handmade crafts. Lunch will be served at a local venue.
