Tokyo tantalizes with its fast-paced lifestyle. Observe the hustle and bustle on the way to the iconic Tokyo Tower Observatory, the Imperial Palace Plaza and the Asakusa Kannon Temple. The former offers panoramic views of the sprawling city while the latter tenders a peaceful oasis within the city. With an afternoon free to explore after the tour you may choose to visit an electronic emporium or people watch at trendy Harajuku. A visit to Mt Fuji is an adventure that will include a cable car ride, a visit to a volcanic crater and a jaunt across a lake via a pirate ship. Transportation to Kyoto is via the lightning fast bullet train. In Kyoto, experience the power of the shoguns at Nijo Castle then be awestruck by the golden shimmer of Kinkakuji Temple, with its upper floors covered in luxurious gold leaf. Experience total astonishment at Todaiji Temple, famous for its Great Buddha caste in bronze, its construction almost bankrupted the nation. Delight in the deer that roam the pathways to the Shinto shrine in Nara, Kasuga Taisha. A free day to explore the other charms of Kyoto, perhaps you will manage to glimpse a geisha? One more opportunity to ride the bullet train back to Tokyo for some final souvenir shopping before departing for your return to the West.
