Our first stop is Tsukiji Outer market, an icon of Japan's culinary scene and the unofficial number one spot for seafood. Here you can find more than 400 shops and try some fresh local food.

The tour then moves on to Asakusa with Tokyo's oldest temple Sensoji Temple and the bustling Nakamise Street, where you will have the chance to shop around for the perfect souvenir!

Enjoy a Japanese-style lunch in a local restaurant. 

After lunch, take pleasure in observing a traditional tea ceremony, engage in the process of preparing tea yourself, and savour each and every sip.

Concluding our day excursion, we ascend to the main deck of Tokyo Tower, the iconic symbol of Tokyo. From the Tower's main deck, you'll witness a stunning view that blends the lively cityscape with the beauty of classic Japanese landmarks.
