11 days in Tokyo Itinerary

Tokyo holds the status of most populous metropolitan area in the world--a fact you'll find tangible as you walk the bustling streets and explore its diverse neighborhoods and cultures.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa Shrine. Popular historic sites such as Kashima Jingū Shrine and Kinomiya Shrine are in your itinerary. Change things up with these side-trips from Tokyo: Samukawa Shrine (in Samukawa-machi), Pola Museum of Art (in Hakone-machi) and Naritasan Omote Sando (in Narita). And it doesn't end there: get a dose of the wild on a nature and wildlife tour, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Mitsumine Shrine (Chichibu), contemplate the long history of Nezu Shrine, and take a stroll through Odaiba.
