Tokyo Tours 2025 & 2026: Group & Private Packages

How to Plan a Tokyo Tour

1. Classic Japan Tour including Tokyo

A 7- to 10-day panoramic tour of Japan, with Tokyo as the entry or exit city, is the choice of most first-time visitors. This popular west-east traversing journey typically extends to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and even Hiroshima. Beyond the iconic Mount Fuji, you could delve into Japan’s historical heritage and rich traditions, from Tokyo’s Senso-ji Temple and Meiji Jingu Shrine to Kyoto’s Pure Water Temple and Gion geisha district, as well as the impressive Osaka Castle. If time allows, add off-the-beaten-path destinations like Kamakura, Takayama, Kanazawa, and Himeji for more immersive cultural experiences. No matter how you wish to organize your Tokyo tours, feel free to contact us for customizable private or group tours that offer excellent value for your money.

2. Tokyo City Tour

The most efficient way to discover Tokyo’s highlights is undoubtedly through our Tokyo group day tours, offering hassle-free transfers and competitive prices. For an in-depth exploration over 3 to 5 days, our guide map below provides a comprehensive reference for you to tick off various areas of Tokyo one by one. Start from the Imperial Palace area in the city center to experience the stark contrast between the lush green surrounding Japanese Emperor’s residence and the concrete jungle of Ginza, visit Asakusa for the historic Senso-ji Temple and the cherry blossoms along the nearby Sumida River, get lost in the neon-lit Kabukicho amidst the skyscrapers of Shinjuku, dive into the crowds at the world’s busiest crossroad in Shibuya to feel the youth fashion and culture, or ascend to observation decks like Tokyo Tower or Skytree for a panoramic cityscape. Tokyo offers even more, and we are ready to help fulfill your travel aspirations.
